This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Smart Problem Finder Program in strengthening the numeracy literacy of elementary school students. The background of this study is based on the low level of students’ numeracy literacy, which is still influenced by conventional teaching practices and a lack of contextual approaches in the mathematics learning process. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, involving elementary school students and teachers as research subjects. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain comprehensive data regarding the program’s implementation. The results indicate that the Smart Problem Finder Program effectively enhances students’ numeracy skills, particularly in understanding and solving addition and subtraction problems more accurately, systematically, and in a structured manner. This program also has a positive impact on students’ learning motivation and active participation through the implementation of game-based learning conducted in the school garden environment, thereby creating a more enjoyable and contextual learning atmosphere. Furthermore, the teacher’s role as a facilitator supported the program’s success through effective lesson planning and classroom management. Thus, the Smart Problem Finder Program can serve as an effective, contextual, and enjoyable learning innovation to enhance elementary students’ numeracy literacy.
