Pengembangan Media INTRODUCTION According to (Suriadi et al. , 2. , education is a valuable lesson for students, enabling them to become more critical thinkers, enabling them to develop the character desired by their teachers and parents. In Indonesia, specifically Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the National Education System, it is stated that numeracy literacy is a skill that must be mastered by students at all levels of education. This law emphasizes the importance of developing literacy and numeracy skills as an integral part of primary and secondary education. Literacy and numeracy should begin to be taught to students at the elementary school level. According to Hidayati et al. , . , literacy and numeracy skills serve as the foundation for students to learn material in other subject areas at school. At the elementary school level, literacy and numeracy skills must be taught optimally so that students do not experience difficulties in understanding more complex subject areas and also serve as capital for students to continue their education at a higher level. However, in reality, numeracy literacy in Indonesia still requires special attention. This can be caused by various factors, one of which is a lack of conceptual understanding, especially in mathematics learning. Numeracy literacy refers to a person's ability to use their reasoning skills to analyze and interpret a statement (Perdana & Suswandari, 2. Numeracy literacy can be defined as the ability to use numbers, symbols, data, and knowledge and skills to solve everyday life problems (Anderha & Maskar, 2. Literacy skills are students' abilities to analyze and interpret information and understand statements conveyed in reading material (Rahmasari et , 2. The goals of numeracy literacy are: .
