The change of the curriculum to the Independent Curriculum made the National Exam (UN) officially change to the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM). The evaluation carried out in the National Assessment consisted of reasoning ability using language (literacy), reasoning ability using mathematics (numeracy), and strengthening character education. Despite the lack of significant improvement in Indonesia's literacy, numeracy, and science skills rankings over the past 18 years, the country consistently ranks in the bottom 10 in PISA test results. Facing the current Independent curriculum, teachers must be able to teach based on literacy and numeracy skills, because this is the indicator in AKM and PISA-based assessments. If teachers master literacy and numeracy skills, then teachers can convey materials related to literacy and numeracy clearly and correctly for students. Teachers are expected to innovate to develop student competencies through various lessons through student-centred teaching. This Community Service is a community partnership program in collaboration with SMKN 3 Lhokseumawe. Service activities are by providing material on literacy and numeracy-based learning. During the service program, teachers are given knowledge about literacy and numeracy, the form of questions, and the number of percentages of questions in the AKM, which are useful for strengthening teachers' literacy and numeracy.

This study uses a descriptive method with a quantitative approach to analyze the numeracy literacy ability of grade XII IPS-6 students at SMAN 1 Mojosari. The sample consisted of 34 students who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. This research began with the identification of the problem of low numeracy literacy in mathematics. A numeracy test in the form of 8 story questions related to statistics is given as a pretest to measure students' abilities. The data was analyzed using statistical tests with the help of SPSS to test the validity, reliability, and results of the pretest. The results showed that 73.53% of students were in the advanced category, and 26.47% of students were in the capable category. Students are able to do histogram-shaped problems well, but have difficulty in presenting data in polygon form. These findings support previous research that states that students often have difficulty processing information from graphs and tables. Other factors that affect students' ability to flip

This research investigates the development and testing of an interactive e-module based on inquiry learning, designed to improve students’ understanding of derivatives in calculus. The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) approach, which involves several stages: design, prototype creation, testing, and revision. The e-module incorporates interactive exercises, real-time feedback, and multimedia elements to engage students in active learning. A pre- and post-test assessment was conducted to measure the effectiveness of the e-module, revealing a 20% improvement in students’ conceptual understanding of derivatives. Feedback from students indicated that the e-module’s interactive features, including visual representations, problem-solving activities, and immediate corrections, significantly enhanced their learning experience. The results were compared with traditional printed materials, showing that the interactive e-module was more effective in improving students' problem-solving skills and overall understanding of abstract concepts in calculus. The findings suggest that technology-enhanced tools, such as interactive e-modules, offer a promising approach to calculus education, fostering deeper engagement and providing immediate feedback, which traditional methods fail to offer. These tools are particularly beneficial in bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in higher education. The study also recommends expanding the use of inquiry-based learning and interactive modules to other areas of mathematics and STEM education. Future research should focus on refining the e-module to include more personalized learning pathways and explore its long-term effects on students' performance across various subjects.

Mathematics plays a crucial role in developing students' problem-solving abilities and independence. Educators need to consider the varying characteristics of students when it comes to solving problems, one of which is their adversity quotient (AQ) level. The adversity quotient relates to a student's ability to handle complex problems or to overcome challenging situations. This research aims to analyze the mathematical problem-solving abilities of Class X students in the context of Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SPLDV) based on their Adversity Quotient (AQ). This qualitative, descriptive study involved selecting research subjects using an AQ questionnaire and was conducted in Class X. Data collection methods included testing, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that subjects with the Climber type can understand problems, develop problem-solving plans, solve problems with accurate and appropriate steps, and use available information to re-check their answers. Subjects with the Camper type can understand problems, develop problem-solving plans, solve problems with accurate and appropriate steps, but often cannot use available information to re-check their answers. Subjects with the Quitter type can understand the problem and formulate a plan but struggle to solve the problem accurately and appropriately, and tend not to use available information to re-check their answers.

Advances in augmented reality (AR) technology have opened up new possibilities in learning, such as help with mathematics. The aim of this research is to develop a simple interactive learning application for building rooms based on AR technology using Unity and Vuforia Engine. This application is designed to help students understand spatial geometry concepts visually and interactively so as to increase interest and understanding of the subject matter. This application development uses Unity as a development platform and Vuforia Engine as an SDK to facilitate AR integration.  This application creates a more interesting learning experience and supports the visualization of geometric objects such as cones, cubes, tubes, balls and pyramids. AR technology allows students to interact with these objects in a 3D environment, which can be very helpful in clarifying concepts and formulas that are difficult to understand using traditional learning media. It is hoped that this research can provide innovative solutions to improve the quality of geometry learning in schools.
