Data collection involved observing their learning process and conducting tests to evaluate their CT skills within the context of the root approach material using Newton-Raphson method. The results indicate that the use of Microsoft Excel facilitates problem-solving for students and educators when employing Newton-Raphson method. Furthermore, it helps identify aspects or indicators of CT in students’ problem-solving processes. The research findings demonstrate that students with strong mathematical abilities should document their conclusions in the algorithmic aspect. Students with moderate mathematical abilities exhibit all indicators in every aspect of CT when solving problems using Newton-Raphson method. On the other hand, students with weak mathematical skills fail to articulate questions, formulas, or conclusions in the algorithm design aspect, but they do show all indicators in the pattern recognition and abstraction aspects.
