This article explores studies that investigate the effect of mobile learning for mathematics understanding and showed various applications used for mobile learning in middle school. Mathematics undertanding is the main thinking that can lead students to have other mathematical ability. On the other hand, the vast improvement in mobile phone ownership could be an advantage for the implementation of mobile learning in mathematics classroom. By explorations of the main construct of the study, we collect and analyzed some studies from the last 7 years (2014-2021) whose results reported that mobile learning give impact on mathematics performances. The results from the total of 30 reviewed literature generally indicated that there is improvement in mathematics understanding. It is showed from the data result from the research that there is positive impact from mobile learning application. Students response also stated that mobile learning help them to understand the topic. In addition, the review of literature in this research provide some alternative application that can be used in the learning mathematics with total 23 applications, such as Geogebra, Google Classroom, Quizizz, Maple, mathematical application developed by the teacher or researcher and so on. However, the implementation also should consider the content and also the learning steps so it can be effective to improve mathematical understanding. © 2024 Author(s).
