Mathematics education in Indonesia continues to face challenges, as evidenced by low national rankings in PISA 2022 and ANBK assessments, reflecting persistent gaps in numeracy competency and contextual problem-solving skills among students. This study aimed to examine the effect of numeracy literacy-based learning management and digital media utilization, both partially and simultaneously, on students' perceived mathematics learning outcomes. A quantitative explanatory approach with a correlational design was employed. Data were collected from 163 eighth-grade students selected through proportional random sampling from a population of 275 students across two public junior high schools in Paal Dua District, Manado City, using validated Likert-scale questionnaires analyzed through multiple linear regression. Numeracy literacy-based learning management exerted a positive and significant effect on perceived learning outcomes (β = 0.548, t = 9.512, p < 0.001), and digital media utilization also had a positive and significant effect (β = 0.333, t = 5.769, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both independent variables significantly explained 57.2% of the variance in students' perceived mathematics learning outcomes (F = 106.820, p < 0.001). Numeracy literacy-based learning management was identified as the more dominant predictor. Integrating numeracy literacy-oriented learning management with effective digital media utilization constitutes a relevant and essential strategy for improving the quality of mathematics learning in 21st-century education. Educational practitioners and policymakers should prioritize teacher professional development that emphasizes both numeracy literacy integration and purposeful digital media use to enhance student mathematics achievement.
