- Goal: Encourage creativity and comprehension of natural numbers and their placements in the decimal system, utilizing a familiar and popular digital platform.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will be grouped and tasked with creating a story on Instagram using the 'stories' feature, where each group will share a series of images or videos narrating a math adventure. Each post must feature a natural number and explain the importance of each digit and its position in the decimal system.

- Instructions:

• Split the class into groups of no more than 5 students.

• Each group should create a dedicated Instagram account for this activity (if school policy allows) or use a similar platform.

• Groups will create a sequence of Instagram stories that depict a 'Math Adventure,' showcasing different natural numbers and their roles in the decimal system.

• Every story should include an image or video with a natural number alongside a textual or spoken explanation about the digit positions and their values.

• Students can utilize graphic creation tools like Canva to enhance their visual content.

• After creating their stories, each group will present their sequence to the class, detailing how they constructed their examples and the significance of the digit positions.

Activity 2 - Math Influencers 📱

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Enhance communication and expression skills, alongside a deep understanding of digit placements in natural numbers, through a modern and interactive method.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will be divided into groups, each adopting the role of a digital influencer focused on mathematics. They must produce a short video (up to 2 minutes) that elucidates the significance of digit positioning in a natural number. The videos will be shared on the school's platform or a dedicated YouTube channel for the class.

- Instructions:

• Organize the class into groups of no more than 5 students.

• Each group should select a theme related to natural numbers and create a short video (using their phones) explaining the importance of digit positions in the decimal system.

• The videos should be inventive and captivating, possibly featuring graphics, animations, or even skits.

• Groups can edit their videos using convenient apps like iMovie, Kinemaster, or other available video editing tools.

• Once created, the videos will be shared on the school's digital platform or a class-specific YouTube channel.

• Students will then watch videos from other groups and provide constructive feedback.

Activity 3 - Virtual Math Escape Room 🧩

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Encourage collaborative problem-solving, reinforcing learning about the importance of digit positions in natural numbers in an enjoyable and interactive way.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will engage in a virtual 'Escape Room' where they need to solve math riddles tied to natural numbers to 'escape.' Utilizing tools like Google Forms and Google Classroom, students must collaborate to tackle the problems within the set time frame.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of no more than 5 students.

• Create a virtual classroom on Google Classroom where students have access to the riddles.

• Use Google Forms to devise a series of math riddles to be solved in order. Each riddle should relate to reading and writing natural numbers, elucidating the significance of digit positions.

• Students will collaborate within their groups via chats or video calls to discuss and solve the riddles.

• Each solved riddle will yield a 'key' or a 'code' leading to the next challenge.

• The first group to solve all the riddles 'escapes' and wins the game.

Feedback

Duration: 15 to 20 minutes

This stage is intended to foster reflection and consolidation of acquired knowledge, while also enhancing teamwork skills and facilitating constructive feedback.
