Computational thinking skills are one of the key 21st-century competencies that need to be developed starting in elementary school, particularly in mathematics education. However, proficiency in these skills remains low because instruCTion tends to be teacher-centered and does not yet provide learning experiences that foster systematic thinking. This study aims to improve students’ computational thinking skills through a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach aided by Algorithm Cards in elementary school mathematics instruction. The classroom action research was conducted in two cycles, with data collected through tests, observations, and documentation. The results showed an increase in the average score from 42.16 to 79.58, with an N-Gain of 0.64, classified as moderate. This approach was effective in improving students’ abilities in decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithm development in mathematics instruction.
