Abstract: This research aims to determine "Image Segmentation of Original Images of Orange Fruit Based on Thresholding Values". Thresholding value image segmentation is an image processing method that separates objects and backgrounds in an image based on differences in brightness levels. Image regions that tend to be dark will be made darker (perfect black with an intensity value of 0), while image regions that tend to be light will be made brighter (perfect white with an intensity value of 1). Therefore, the output of the segmentation process using the thresholding method is a binary image with a pixel intensity value of 0 or 1.The author conducted this research to obtain data by researching and concentrating on writings or sources identified with the problem being studied. Literary research can be obtained by searching for journals, ebooks taken from the internet that plan to find current hypotheses with the problem being studied.Based on the results of determining the thresholding value in determining the binary value, the threshold value is determined as a reference. If the matrix value is smaller than the threshold value then the result is 0 and if the matrix value is greater than the threshold value then the result is 1. Keywords: Thresholding Value, Image Segmentation, Orange Fruit Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui “Segmentasi Citra Pada Citra Asli Buah Jeruk Berdasarkan Nilai Thresholding”.

The critical thinking skills of elementary school students in mathematics learning, espe-cially fraction materials, are still a significant challenge. This study aims to identify and explore the application of metacognition-based learning that can improve students' criti-cal thinking skills. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method of 15 scientific articles, this research examines innovative learning models that integrate metacognition in fraction learning. The research findings show that the implementation of metacognition-based learning significantly improves students' critical thinking skills in several analyzed studies. Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Numbered Head Together (NHT), and STEM-PJBL approaches proved effective in facilitating the development of critical thinking skills. In addition, the use of technology-based interactive media, such as the “Merica” application, also contributed positively to students' understanding of the concept of fractions. The implication of this research is the need for curriculum develop-ment that is more integrated with metacognitive strategies, especially in mathematics learning at the elementary school level. This implication provides practical guidance for teachers and curriculum developers in designing more effective and targeted metacognition based learning. Thus, this research is expected to encourage the development of mathematics learning innovations that are more effective and student centered
