Abstract
The use of technology is important today and needs attention. One emerging technology is MathCityMap (MCM), which combines technology with mathematics learning. This study aimed to systematically examine the cognitive and affective skills that had been successfully enhanced, as well as the geographical distribution in the use of MCM. This research was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA method to filter the articles which were going to be analysed. The inclusion criteria consisted of empirical articles aligned with the research questions, published in scientific journals between 2020 and 2025. A total of 295 articles were retrieved from Scopus, ERIC, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, Crossref, Google Scholar, and were assessed. After quality assessment, 25 articles were included in the analysis. From the analysis, it was found that the highest number of studies was conducted in 2024, indicating a growing interest in utilizing the MCM application. In Indonesia, most research was in Yogyakarta, while Germany had the most studies worldwide. Regarding the learning environments, more studies were conducted in school settings than in out-of-school settings, although the difference was not significant. Geometry was identified as the most frequently used topic in MCM-based learning. Finally, the findings of this study revealed that MCM was not merely a learning application, but a bridge between abstract mathematics and the real world, capable of stimulating student^s cognitive and affective abilities. Geographically, MCM was found to be well accepted across various regions and countries, suggesting its potential to become a new face of global mathematics education.
