Abstract: 
CalcEs is an educational software application that enhances students' comfort and efficiency in problem-solving. The integration of reciprocal teaching with educational software like CalcEs not only improves mathematical understanding but also aligns with the broader goals of developing 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy. This quasi-experimental research investigated the impact of CalcEs-supported activities on students' performance in General Mathematics. The control group, consisting of 24 Grade 11 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students, used conventional teaching methods, while the experimental group, comprising 30 Grade 11 Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) students, engaged in reciprocal teaching with CalcEs supported activities. Significant differences were observed in the pre-test and post-test scores within both groups, as well as between the post-test scores of the two groups, indicating that CalcEs-supported activities in reciprocal teaching positively influenced student performance.
