The prevalence of obesity is on the rise among school children globally and recent reports by several institutions have linked this fact to heightened risk from potential chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. Many elementary school students from lower socio-economic groups are especially at risk. Hence it is important for both parents and school officials to understand the benefits of healthy weight and promote suitable changes to the eating habit of children. Acquiring sufficient and appropriate nutrition during childhood will lessen the risk of nutrition-related health problems and lead to a better quality adulthood. A school meal planner with a recommender option is a helpful tool to allow parents and school to plan a nutritionally balanced meal schedule for children. This paper presents a web-based meal planning decision support system (DSS) for parents and schools to provide suitable dietary meals for elementary school students. A demonstration website for the developed system has been implemented online (http://mealplanner.hyperhub.net).

Despite the advancement of digital technology, there is no application specializing in teaching mathematics in English for Indonesian elementary school learners. During the pandemic, teachers need online teaching media to assist them when teaching mathematics.  This article covers the project of teaching media creation for teaching Common Core mathematics to Indonesian elementary school students. The objectives of this project are creating web-based applications focusing to assist teachers to teach Mathematics in English for Indonesian Elementary students; and providing tools for the teachers in terms of material management such as curriculum and exercises; student management; and step-by-step guide during teaching in the classroom setting. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is the teaching method supported by the teaching media. The results of the project are two web-based applications. The first application is the Learning Application which contains the mathematics teaching materials and student management. The second application is the Teaching Guide application, which contains the step-by-step-guide for teachers in CLIL classroom setting. The informal trials with 13 elementary students and 4 mathematics teachers as the participants showed positive results.
