In learning mathematical economics, students find it difficult to apply mathematical theory to formulate economic theory and problems in economics. Students think practically, which makes learning mathematical economics less than optimal. This study aims to produce valid mathematical economics worksheets based on android applications. This study used design research methods with the development studies: preliminary, prototyping, and assessment stages. The evaluation flow in the prototyping stage is a formative study, including the stages of self-evaluation, expert review, and one-to-one, small group, and field tests. This article discusses the research in the expert review and one-to-one stage. The subjects of this research are six fifth-semester college students of the mathematics department at the Universitas Singaperbangsa Karawang and three experts. The result of this research is the second prototype of mathematical economics worksheets based on the I-Math application for learning mathematical economics lectures. This application-based worksheet is made very dynamic so that the material can be changed according to need. The results of the data analysis show that this study has produced mathematical economics worksheets based on android applications that are valid.
