Introduction Mathematics is a fundamental subject in elementary education that plays a strategic role in developing students' logical, analytical, and systematic thinking skills (Adhiana et al.
, 2.
However, mathematics learning in elementary schools, particularly fractions, still faces various complex problems that hinder the achievement of learning objectives.
Fractions in elementary school are a topic considered difficult by most students because they involve abstract concepts that require a deep understanding of the relationship between parts and the whole (Rif'ati et al.
, 2025.
Sari et al.
, 2.
Students' difficulties in understanding fraction concepts are not only related to the complexity of the material but also influenced by conventional learning methods and the lack of engaging and interactive learning media (Fadillah et al.
, 2.
Teacher-centered learning, with a lecture approach and the use of textbooks as the sole learning resource, results in students lacking motivation and difficulty visualizing abstract fraction concepts (Kurnia et al.
, 2.
This situation is exacerbated by teachers' limited ability to develop and utilize innovative learning media that align with the characteristics of today's digital generation students (Husnia et al.
, 2.
In the digital era and post-COVID-19 pandemic, technology integration in learning has become an urgent and unavoidable need (Isrok'atun et al.
, 2.
Educational technology offers various solutions to address mathematics learning challenges, one of which is through the use of interactive and engaging digital learning media.
Canva, a user-friendly web-based graphic design platform, has emerged as a potential alternative learning media for implementation in elementary schools (Ningrum et al.
, 2.
This platform enables teachers to create various types of visual content such as interactive presentations, e-books, infographics, learning videos, and digital worksheets without requiring complex graphic design skills (Lubis, n.
Several recent studies have shown that Canva-based learning media has significant potential to improve the quality of mathematics learning in elementary schools (Sari et al.
, 2025.
Rif'ati et al.
, 2025.
Kurnia et al.
, 2.
This media is not only visually appealing but can also be adapted to specific learning needs, including for fractions, which require clear and concrete visual representations.
However, despite its significant potential, the implementation of Canva in mathematics learning in Indonesia still requires in-depth study to understand its effectiveness, practicality, and the challenges faced in its implementation.
The current state of mathematics learning in Indonesian elementary schools still presents various issues that require serious attention.
Survey results from the Programmed for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) consistently show that Indonesian students' mathematical abilities remain below the international average, particularly in understanding mathematical concepts and applying them to real-life contexts (Ruqoyyah et al.
, 2.
These issues are inextricably linked to the quality of the learning process, which still needs improvement.
At the elementary school level, particularly for fractions in grade 4, various field studies have revealed alarming facts.
Research by Ridho'i et al.
at SDN Pasirian 01 found that students' understanding of fraction concepts remained low.

with many students struggling to grasp basic fraction concepts, fraction operations, and their application in problem-solving.
Similar findings were reported by Aryanti .
, who identified that student learning outcomes in fractions in grade 4 of elementary school were still below the established Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM).
One root of the problem is the limited learning media available in schools, particularly in areas with limited access to technology (Ramdhani et al.
, n.
Many teachers still rely on conventional methods, with learning media limited to blackboards, textbooks, and the occasional use of simple props that are not always effective in visualizing the abstract concept of fractions (Listiyoningrum et al.
, 2.
This situation is exacerbated by a lack of training and mentoring for teachers in developing and utilizing technology-based learning media (Tristina et al.
, n.
However, on the other hand, digital technology penetration in Indonesia continues to increase rapidly.
Data shows that smartphone use and internet access among Indonesians, including in educational settings, have reached significant levels (Ilham et al.
, n.
This situation creates a significant opportunity to integrate technology into learning, including the use of digital platforms like Canva, which can be accessed through various devices.
Several schools that have tried implementing digital learning media have reported positive responses from students and a significant increase in learning motivation (Octaviani et al.
, 2.
Field observations also indicate a digital divide between urban and rural schools, as well as between public and private schools (Laela et al.
, 2.
Urban schools generally have better access to technological infrastructure and teacher training, while rural schools still face limited facilities and resources.
This gap needs to be a crucial consideration in designing strategies for implementing technologybased learning media like Canva to ensure its reach across all levels of schools in Indonesia.
Based on the above, the objectives of this study are: .
to analyze the effectiveness of Canva-based learning media in improving elementary school students' understanding of fraction concepts, based on empirical evidence from recent studies.
to identify various implementations of Canva media in mathematics learning on fractions, including the features used and how they are implemented in the classroom.
to evaluate the impact of Canva media use on student learning outcomes, motivation, and engagement in mathematics learning on fractions.
to identify challenges and obstacles encountered in implementing Canva media in Indonesian elementary schools and potential solutions.
to provide practical recommendations for teachers, schools, and education policymakers regarding the integration of Canva media in elementary school mathematics learning.
By achieving these objectives, this study is expected to provide theoretical and practical contributions to the development of more innovative, effective, and digital-age-appropriate mathematics learning, particularly for fractions in elementary schools.
Method This study uses a systematic literature review (SLR) approach to comprehensively examine the application of Canva media in mathematics learning on fractions in elementary schools.
