The application of innovative and interactive learning media can encourage students to be active in learning. However, in reality social studies learning is still teacher-centered. The teachers do not use innovative learning media, and are fixated on one source book that has been provided by the school. This study is to determine the effect of using cultural map media on student learning outcomes on the material diversity of the Indonesian nation. The study used a quasi-experimental research method using one experimental group. Therefore, the design used by the researcher is a one group pretest-posttest design. The results of the statistical test showed that the average posttest results of the students were higher than the students' average pretest, which was 83.77 > 76.33 with Sig = 0.000. Therefore, the application of cultural map learning media has an effect on improving student learning outcomes on the material diversity of the Indonesian nation

Students should be trained to solve problems in mathematics so that they can do so in their studies also so that they can solve problems in their everyday lives, especially mathematical ones, with ease. This study aimed to learn how well students in grade five at SDN 26 in Rejang Lebong solved mathematical problems requiring higher-level critical thinking (HOTS). This study is an example of content analysis as a type of qualitative descriptive research. Students from Class 26 at VA SDN SDN in Rejang Lebong comprise the research sample. Testing members are used for data collection. The test questions are five multiple-choice HOTS problems. Research findings demonstrate students' varying abilities to solve arithmetic problems. The students have a good grasp of the issues from the perspective of problem understanding. Students aren't fully utilizing concepts and procedures while analyzing problems and developing solutions with mathematical tools, which is an issue with regard to problem-solving planning. Students have not fully written solutions to problems from both the planning and implementation perspectives, and from the perspective of looking back at previous solutions, they have not written those solutions down either.
