This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design to examine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Genially interactive media on students’ critical thinking and mathematical communication skills. The participants were 19 seventh-grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 3 Surabaya in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data was collected through tests, observations, and questionnaires, and analyzed using a paired sample t-test and N-gain analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ abilities after the implementation of PBL assisted by Genially, with t(18) = 20.042, p < .001. The average N-gain score was 0.541, categorized as moderate. Student activity reached 99.75% (very good category), and student responses indicated a very positive perception (93%). These findings indicate that the integration of PBL and Genially interactive media effectively enhances students’ critical thinking and mathematical communication skills.
