This paper sought to determine if the Basic School Mathematics learning experience has any influence on the individual when it comes to program selection in higher education and career choice. The researcher employed a qualitative approach in order to obtain detailed information about the topic. This led to the adoption of the Narrative Paradigm, where one experienced person was interviewed to obtain first-hand information for analysis. It was revealed if a student develops an interest in mathematics at Basic School it improves their performance. More so such a student is more likely to enroll in mathematics-related courses as he or she moves higher on the academic ladder. It was also observed that if teachers adopt methods of teaching that are learner-centered, it motivates the learner to learn mathematics as an integral part of life but not as abstract information that needs to be chewed. The study confirmed that mathematics has various applications in the workplace, and knowledge of mathematics can be self-gratifying. The study makes the following recommendations; even though students learn as a group, the teacher must focus on the individual learners by giving them extra attention, teachers must be interested in what the students learn after school, and teachers must keep parents and guardians informed about the academic achievements progress of their wards.

The development of critical thinking skills has emerged as a global concern in a variety of fields, including education. The purpose of this research is to shed light on the connection that exists between one's prior knowledge and the mathematical critical thinking skills that are acquired through the use of quantitative methods. Collecting data through the use of mathematical instruments, mathematical critical thinking tests, and daily test data for the prerequisite material based on the average student's performance. High school students in the eleventh grade made up the study's sample population. The findings of the research indicate that there is a positive connection between mathematical background knowledge and critical thinking abilities in that subject area. It is possible to draw the conclusion that the material that serves as initial knowledge and is therefore a prerequisite needs to be studied extensively in order to have broad insight that contributes to the success of learning the subsequent material. In spite of this, the researchers discovered that the number of students who fell into the high and medium categories of critical thinking skills was lower when compared to the number of students who fell into the second category when it came to their initial mathematical abilities. In other words, there has been a rise in the proportion of students who score poorly on tests of their ability to engage in critical thinking. These additional aspects should be sought out and incorporated as research fodder in subsequent studies.

Connecting measurement concepts from informal to formal situations was challenging for students, specifically in understanding length and area measurements in elementary school. The use of cultural context in mathematics learning have been identified as a potential solution to address these challenges, although further exploration was required. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the impact of mathematics learning designs outside classroom that integrate the culture of Bengkulu, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was used with a total of 83 fifth-grade students from two medium- and high-level elementary schools. The assessment instrument comprised six test questions and an observation sheet to record students’ activities. The results showed that students in high-level schools understood teacher instructions and worksheets more quickly, providing additional time for measuring practice. Conversely, students at medium-level schools tended to wait for instructions. The inferential analysis showed that integrating mathematics learning designs outside classroom in Bengkulu cultural context did not significantly increase the understanding of area and length measurements for students in medium-level schools but positively impacted those in high-level schools. Therefore, this method had the potential to improve understanding of other mathematical concepts, specifically when effectively implemented in schools with higher levels of understanding.

The field of education has been profoundly transformed by advancements in information technology, particularly in teaching mathematics. This study thoroughly examines the current research trends in mobile learning (ML) for mathematics education until 2023. This study employed a bibliometric methodology to investigate the distribution patterns of publications in ML to achieve this goal. Specifically, the analysis focused on the following categories: timeline databases, document types of the most prolific countries, commonly used keywords by authors, and the evolution of thematic maps. Two hundred articles retrieved from the Scopus database were analysed and visualised using the Bibliometrix analysis suite from Scintopy software. The findings indicate that ML has emerged as a prominent area of research in mathematics education, with substantial growth observed since 2013, and the year 2019 reached its pinnacle with a record-breaking number of documents, precisely 26. Indonesia had the highest publishing output, with 16 publications, followed by the United States, Malaysia, South Africa, and the Philippines. The current trending subjects revolve around 'mobile learning', 'students', 'mathematics education', and 'e-learning'. There is no text provided. Following these fundamental principles, we can integrate ML in mathematics more comprehensively and extensively, enhancing future educational experiences. This research has the potential to establish a structure for comprehending previous studies and a systematic approach for conducting future research based on empirical evidence.

When participating in this activity, students were tasked with recording and evaluating their responses to problems related to curved surfaces' geometry. The following difficulties were included in the scope of the investigation: spheres, cones, and cylinders. The researchers followed a four-step methodology developed by Polya to investigate the approaches and viewpoints of the students. This process included identifying the problem, developing a strategy, putting the strategy into action, and evaluating the results. According to the findings, it appears that the majority of errors occur when attempting to determine the nature of the issue. Using the appropriate formulas and procedures becomes quite difficult if the problem is misunderstood or not fully grasped. In the interest of assisting teachers in better assisting their students in developing stronger mathematical reasoning and understanding skills, this study will investigate real-life examples of students making improper mathematical applications. According to the research findings, it is suggested that mathematics education should incorporate more guided practice and conversation to assist students in developing their ability to solve problems. It is also highlighted throughout the study that it is necessary to have a complete comprehension of the problem statements.
