Resumo
Mathematics is a crucial aspect of reasoning and problem-solving. However, mathematics is still considered a difficult subject and tends to be unpopular; therefore, there is a need for examples of enjoyable mathematics learning experiences. This study aims to explore students’ experiences in mathematics learning at a private junior high school in South Tangerang, Indonesia. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study design, conducted at a junior high school in Indonesia involving 203 students, of whom 66 responded to open-ended questions, and 6 were interviewed in depth. Additional data were obtained from two mathematics teachers and one deputy headteacher for student affairs. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The data were analysed thematically using an interactive analysis model supported by triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings of this study indicate that students’ mathematics learning outcomes were excellent across all three student groups. Mathematics became an engaging and enjoyable subject, and positive changes were observed in the students through differentiated learning. Consequently, mathematics teaching at this school can be considered a best practice. Thus, an appropriate approach to mathematics teaching is a prerequisite for stimulating students’ interest in learning mathematics.
