Abstract: This study explores the impact of digital textbooks, specifically Kognity, on enhancing Mathematical Thinking Skills among Grade 12 students in Shanghai, China. Conducted within International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches – Higher Level class, the research involved 44 students who participated in a Calculus course. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with pretest and posttest assessments comparing the performance of a control group receiving traditional lecture-based instruction and a treatment group utilizing Kognity. The pretest results in the control group showed that 47.62% achieved a grade of 5, while the posttest revealed 47.62% earned a grade of 6. In contrast, the treatment group exhibited remarkable improvement: pretest results showed 30.43% attaining a grade of 6 or higher, compared to 100% in the posttest. Mean pretest scores and standard deviations for the control group were 40.79 and 14.90, respectively, increasing to 60.95 (SD = 11.98) in the posttest. Meanwhile, the treatment group’s mean pretest score of 49.57 (SD = 16.55) improved significantly to 83.77 (SD = 13.72) post-intervention. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences, with a calculated t-value of –12.12 (p
