The results: (1) The role of the Mathematics teacher in cultivating 4C was carried out by providing open-ended questions to students and inviting students to discuss them in small groups. (2) Teachers need to be trained to develop online learning so that mathematics material and 4C competencies can be integrated and absorbed by students optimally. In conclusion, (1) open-ended questions can be used by mathematics teachers as a means of interpreting Mathematics lessons with 4C competencies through student discussions in small groups.
