<![CDATA[Purpose: This study aims to analyze the orientation of numeracy-literacy-based mathematics curriculum development and identify core curricular components, implementation challenges, and future directions reported in recent literature.Design/methodology/approach: Operating within a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) design using the PRISMA 2020 framework, this study searched Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar, and Garuda/SINTA databases (2021–2026). Nine core articles were selected, thematically analyzed, and methodologically appraised using the 2018 Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).Findings: The findings reveal four major themes: reorienting curriculum goals toward contextual and critical numeracy; strengthening learning experiences through real-life contexts, culture, and technology; repositioning assessment toward reasoning and problem-solving; and recognizing the critical role of curriculum resources and teacher capacity.Practical implications: These insights practically demand the integration of critical numeracy task designs into mathematics textbooks and digital platforms as a tangible initial step for teachers and curriculum developers.Originality/value: The originality lies in its integrative synthesis that frames numeracy literacy as a comprehensive curricular ecosystem—linking goals, content, learning experiences, assessment, and resources—thereby bridging the gap between macro-level policy and classroom-level implementation. Purpose: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis orientasi pengembangan kurikulum matematika berbasis literasi numerasi, serta mengidentifikasi komponen kurikulum utama, tantangan implementasi, dan arah masa depan dalam studi terkini. Design/methodology/approach: Metode yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review (SLR) dengan kerangka PRISMA 2020. Database yang dieksplorasi meliputi Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar, dan Garuda/SINTA (2021–2026). Sembilan artikel inti dipilih, dianalisis secara tematik, dan dinilai kualitas metodologinya menggunakan Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) 2018. Findings: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan empat tema utama: reorientasi tujuan kurikulum ke arah numerasi kontekstual-kritis; penguatan pengalaman belajar berbasis realitas, budaya, dan teknologi; reposisi asesmen pada penalaran dan pemecahan masalah; serta pentingnya sumber daya kurikulum dan kapasitas guru. Practical implications: Temuan ini merekomendasikan integrasi desain tugas numerasi kritis ke dalam buku teks matematika dan platform digital sebagai langkah konkret reformasi kurikulum bagi guru dan pengembang materi. Originality/value: Kebaruan studi ini terletak pada sintesis integratif yang memosisikan literasi numerasi sebagai ekosistem kurikuler komprehensif (menghubungkan tujuan, konten, pengalaman belajar, asesmen, dan sumber daya), sehingga menjembatani kesenjangan antara kebijakan makro dan implementasi kelas. ]]>
