Abstract:
As education evolves with technological advancements and societal shifts, educators face the challenge of teaching Generation Alpha, born from 2010 onwards, who have grown up in a technology-rich environment, requiring mathematics teachers to adjust their instructional strategies accordingly. This study employed a literature review approach in exploring the different flexibility measures of mathematics educators in dealing the Generation Alpha learners. Findings showed five (5) emerging themes on flexibility in mathematics instruction for Generation Alpha, namely; (1) Integrating Technology Tools; (2) Employing Differentiated Instruction; (3) Emphasizing Conceptual Understanding; (4) Setting Collaborative Learning Environments; and (5) Boosting Continuous Professional Development. Mathematics teachers' flexibility in adapting instructional strategies, including technology integration, differentiated instruction, conceptual emphasis, collaborative learning, and ongoing professional development, is crucial for enhancing engagement and achievement among Generation Alpha learners. Educational institutions may prioritize professional development, provide technological resources, and foster innovative teaching practices to help mathematics teachers effectively meet the needs of Generation Alpha learners.
