: This study aims to develop an innovative learning medium in the form of an ESCI-based (Ethics, Socio, Culture, Interactive) e-book designed to enhance the mathematical communication skills of slow learner students in elementary school. The development process employed the 4-D model introduced by Thiagarajan, consisting of the stages of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The participants were fifth-grade students of SDN Sukowinangun 2 Magetan. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, and mathematical communication skill tests. The validation results indicated that the ESCI-based e-book achieved a very high level of validity with an average score of 3.8. The practicality test results showed a very practical category with an average score of 3.82 or 95.5%. The effectiveness test revealed an improvement in students’ mathematical communication skills with an n-Gain value of 0.54, which falls into the medium category. Qualitative findings showed increased student activeness, confidence, and emotional engagement during learning activities. The integration of ethical, social, and local cultural values within the e-book created an interactive, adaptive, and contextual learning atmosphere. Therefore, the ESCI-based e-book is valid, practical, and effective as an inclusive learning medium that supports the development of mathematical communication skills among slow learner students in elementary education.
