The study material on circle areas is contextually oriented and aids students in comprehending their surrounding environment. Higher-order thinking skills are imperative for the success of circular learning, as they help students grasp concepts holistically and solve concept problems. "What-if" questions can enhance students' higher-order thinking skills through problem-solving activities, fostering critical and creative thinking. However, applying "what-if" questions is limited to serving as problem-posing triggers, resulting in minimal variation in the material. Therefore, this study aims to design a learning trajectory for the area of circles based on "what-if" questions to enhance students' higher-order thinking skills. This research also addresses the gap by utilizing "what-if" questions to construct and evaluate circle area learning activities. We employed design research as the research method, conducted in three stages: preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective analysis. The results demonstrated that the designed learning trajectory enhanced higher-order thinking skills in various aspects. Students exhibited critical thinking and profound analysis when working on worksheets and addressing the provided problems. Moreover, students showcased creative and divergent thinking abilities, enabling them to generate alternative problem solutions. Furthermore, optimizing technology usage and emphasizing reasoning in learning should be augmented to enhance student motivation and foster innovative learning.

“…The current learning situation in schools shows a challenge in developing critical thinking skills in learners (Fadhilah et al, 2022;Lestari et al, 2023;Ximenes et al, 2023). Classroom observations and evaluation of learning outcomes show that many learners demonstrate low critical thinking skills.…”

Objective: To address this issue, this research explores the integration of HOTS with the Culturally Responsive Teaching approach in developing Electronic Student Worksheets as a holistic and relevant learning solution. This research analyzes the preliminary development of HOTS-based electronic Student Worksheets with a Culturally Responsive Teaching Approach. Method: This research adopts a qualitative descriptive approach and involves fourth-grade teachers in Pasuruan Regency as research subjects. Sampling is done through purposive sampling. Data collection includes observation, documentation, and interviews. Results: The research begins with a preliminary study to identify the foundations that strengthen the development of electronic Student Worksheets. Then, a field study is conducted by directly observing the teaching materials teachers use in their instruction. Curriculum analysis focuses on Student Worksheets and learning materials. The Student Worksheets teachers use need to integrate HOTS and the Culturally Responsive Teaching approach. This preliminary study findings suggest the need for developing HOTS-based electronic Student Worksheets with a Culturally Responsive Teaching approach so that students can improve their critical thinking skills, learn about the culture of their local area, and appreciate both their own culture and the cultures of others. Novelty: This research implies that implementing HOTS with the Culturally Responsive Teaching approach in elementary education can provide a solid foundation for producing students who are not only academically intelligent but also possess character, critical thinking skills, and an understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity.

“…The skill is useful to obtain, manage, and utilize the received information. Students need critical thinking skills to implement various methods of solving problems (Syawaludin et al, 2019;Lestari et al, 2023). Therefore, critical thinking skills are important to apply in learning activities at every level of education.…”

The use of interactive digital technology in learning is an alternative strategy to create joyful learning activities. Therefore, interactive digital worksheet requires development by considering the critical thinking skills of elementary school students. This research determined the interactive digital media worksheet necessity based on critical thinking skills, compiling design, feasibility identification, and effectiveness test of the interactive digital media worksheet based on critical thinking skills for elementary school students. This research and development applied seven steps: (1) potential and problem identification; (2) data collection; (3) product design; (4) design validation; (5) design revision; (6) product test; and (7) product revision. The researchers collected the data with interviews, observations, questionnaires, and tests. The research results found the necessity of interactive digital student worksheets in managing mathematics learning to improve students' critical thinking skills. The interactive digital LKS design was based on critical thinking skills. The development considered the three components, such as (1) Planning; (2) implementing; and (3) evaluating. Planning consists of (1) the analysis of student characteristics; (2) the analysis of learning achievements (CP); (3) the determination of the learning objectives (TP) and the learning objective flow (ATP) and the assessment; (4) the selections of media, learning methods, and teaching materials. The implementation of the interactive digital student worksheets in learning was based on the problem-based learning model and formative and summative tests for the evaluation. The expert validation found the interactive digital worksheet was valid and reliable. The teacher responses reached the percentage of 87.5% while the student with 90%. The product test obtained an average of N-gain for the control group was 0.31 while the experimental group was 0.50, indicating an increment of students' critical thinking skills in mathematics. Thus, interactive digital worksheet implementation is useful in managing learning. The implementation was also useful for further development to manage various challenging activities and to realize meaningful learning.
