The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of learning methodologies based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) on the literacy and numeracy abilities of students at SMP Negeri 1 Percut Sei Tuan. The population of this study was the Class VII even semester of SMP Negeri 1 Percut Sei Tuan, which consisted of 8 classes. Class VII-1 served as the experimental class and class VII-2 as the control class when choosing samples from these classes using purposeful selection. There are typically 26 pupils in a class. A quasi-experimental research approach is the Pretest-Posttest Control Group approach. The author developed a three-question essay test to evaluate children's aptitude for solving math problems. In order to examine the effect of RME at a significant threshold of = 0.05, the t-test (independent sample t-test) is used. The hypothesis was tested, and the findings revealed a (2-tailed) sign of 0.000 < 0.05. As a result, it is possible to conclude that the Realistic Mathematics Education approach has a big impact on kids' reading and math abilities.
