The numeracy skills of elementary school students in Indonesia remain low, as reflected in national and international assessments. Conventional teaching methods are ineffective in improving numeracy skills, necessitating a more interactive and engaging approach. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of mobile game-based learning in facilitating numeracy education. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study involved two groups of third-grade students: an experimental group using mobile games and a control group using PowerPoint. Data were collected through numeracy tests covering number relations, arithmetic operations, and counting. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement in numeracy skills compared to the control group, with a p-value of 0.043. These findings suggest that mobile game-based learning is more effective, interactive, and flexible in enhancing students' numeracy skills. The study recommends mobile games as an innovative alternative learning medium in elementary education.
