Problem-solving skills have a vital role in students' daily lives. This research aims to describe the students' problem-solving skills in solving HOTS problems. This research is a descriptive study. The research subjects used were 33 eleventh-grade students at one of the senior high schools in Musi Banyuasin, South Sumatera. Problem-solving test with the HOTS problems level was used as a data collection instrument. The results of this study depicted that the students have medium problem-solving skills. The students' problem-solving skills are inconsistent in solving HOTS questions. In understanding the problem stage, students have been able to write down the information obtained from questions, but some have not been able to write down complete and ideal information. While in determining plans and strategies stage, students have been able to make mathematical models based on the information obtained in the previous stage. The students are weak in solving problems stage because students are still not complete in solving problems according to the commands of the questions. The students also have weak in rechecking stage. So, teachers must optimize students' problem-solving skills. The teachers need to optimize students' problem-solving skills through exercises in solving HOTS problems using Polya's steps.

Mathematical concepts understanding is the main foundation for mastery of more complex material so that appropriate learning methods are needed to improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts. This study aims to determine the effect of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) learning method on the students' mathematical concepts understanding in social arithmetic topic. The research method used in this study was a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. This research was conducted at a junior high school in Serang, Banten, using a probability sampling technique. The instrument used is a test of the mathematical concepts understanding. The test results of the mathematical concepts understanding were analyzed using the t-test and N-Gain to determine the increase in students' mathematical concepts understanding. The results showed that the STEM learning method had a significant influence on increasing students' mathematical concepts understanding in social arithmetic topic. However, the use of the STEM learning method to improve students' mathematical abilities in general in various mathematical materials still requires further research.

Reciting the Quran is a good habit that can improve people's cognitive abilities, including reasoning. However, according to Bloom's theory, memorization is categorized as the lowest cognitive domain, while according to NCTM, the reasoning is included in the higher-order thinking process. Hence, there is a contradiction in theories of thinking. This study aims to describe the type of reasoning of reciting the Quran students based on their recitation of the Quran ability. This research method is qualitative with a case study approach. The instrument used in this study was a reasoning test and interview guidelines. The results showed that 3 of 4 subjects with high recitation ability used creative reasoning, only one with medium recitation ability used algorithmic reasoning, and none with low recitation ability used a specific reasoning type.

Mathematics learning will be more meaningful if it uses a cultural context. Therefore an exploration of the mathematical ideas that exist in a culture is needed. The purpose of this study was to determine the fundamental ethnomathematics activities in the process of making beads basket craft and to identify mathematical concepts in beads basket craft. This research is a qualitative research with ethnographic research. The subject of this research is the bead craftsman community in Sungai Tutung, Jambi, Indonesia. The results of this study found that the activity of making bead basket crafts involved counting (e.g. determining the number of colors of each type of bead to be used), locating (e.g. placing beads to make a pattern), measuring (e.g. measuring the length of the rope), designing (e.g. designing bead basket motif), and explaining (e.g. explain the meaning of the motif on the bead basket). In addition, it was also found the concept of geometry and the concept of social arithmetic on the beads basket craft. The researchers recommend using the results of this study in learning mathematics either through direct learning or through the use of learning media.

The Covid-19 pandemic around the world has changed the education system. The implementation of learning has changed by reducing the number of face-to-face meetings so that it requires students’ self-regulated learning. The teacher must choose a suitable model so that student learning achievement remains optimal even though studying independently. The Flipped Classroom model is an alternative solution to increase students’ self-regulated learning. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom model on students’ self-regulated learning. This research was conducted through quasi-experimental research with the pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design at one of the State Islamic Junior High Schools in Kerinci, Jambi. Data was collected through a self-regulated learning questionnaire. The hypothesis was tested using the t-test.

The Introductory Mathematics Course is an initial course that students must master before they study advanced courses. However, many students still need higher grades in this course. This study aims to analyze the students' mathematical concepts understanding in Introductory Mathematics Course. This study is a descriptive qualitative study involving three mathematics education students at an Islamic University in Jambi. Each has high, medium, and low abilities based on the mathematical concept of understanding test results. The students were also interviewed to confirm their test answers. Data were analyzed descriptively using the method-triangulation. The results of this study indicate that, in general, the students' mathematical concepts understanding in Introductory Mathematics Course is in the medium category. A student with high ability can answer all the questions correctly, while ones with medium and low abilities still need to correct some things. The students with medium and low abilities must train more and get used to working on concept-understanding questions. Learning methods are also needed that further hone their ability to understand mathematical concepts.

The plane figure is compulsory mathematics material at all levels of education, including junior high school. However, students still make frequent mistakes in understanding the plane figures' properties. In understanding this topic, students must have the skill to think critically. Critical thinking is a process of rational thinking before deciding or taking action in a more specific direction. Therefore, this study aims to determine students' skills in defining the plane figure's properties. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method. Tests and interviews were used to determine the students' skills in determining the properties of the plane figure. Researchers determined five indicators used to determine students' skills in determining the nature of the plane figure: focusing and formulating, observing and assessing observation results, making and assessing inductions, defining and assessing definitions, and integrating decisions. Three junior high school students were selected as research subjects with high, medium, and low skill levels, respectively. The data analysis used descriptive analysis using method triangulation and theory triangulation. The research results show two students' mathematical critical thinking patterns based on their skills. The subjects with high and medium skills can solve all problems with a small error rate and fulfill all predetermined critical thinking skills indicators. On the other hand, the subject with low skills has not been able to solve problems, so no critical thinking indicators are met. There is a misunderstanding on high and moderate skills subjects. Neither understand the meaning of opposite angles and parallel lines in specific plane figures. It can be a reference for teachers to improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts.

Education and culture cannot be separated in daily life. Ethnomathematics exists to bridge the gap between culture and education, especially in mathematics. Humans are unaware of activities that use basic mathematical concepts and ideas like counting, measuring (length, area, volume, and weight), number construction, games, and buying-selling activities. This study examines and analyzes the Minangkabau traditional games in the scope of geometry. This research is exploratory research with an ethnographic approach. The subjects of this study were 6 players of the Sipak Rago game. The data was collected through observation, documentation, and interview to find mathematical concepts in the Sipak Rago game. Based on the research, there are mathematical concepts in the Sipak Rago game like the concept of circle elements, circle circumference formula, circle area formula, and angle on a circle.
