Numeracy is one of the essential skills for students in the 21st century, as it represents an individual's ability to apply mathematical concepts and skills, especially integers in everyday life and was the major domain in PISA 2022. However, in reality, Indonesia ranked 69th out of 80 countries in PISA 2022, indicating that Indonesian students' mathematical abilities, especially in numeracy, remain far below expectations. The GASING learning method offers a potential solution to address this issue. This study aims to analyze enhancement in junior high school students' numeracy using the GASING learning method. This research is quantitative in nature, employing a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 98 junior high school students from Morotai Island Regency, selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through written numeracy tests. The pretest and posttest scores were used to calculate each student's N-Gain value, followed by an independent t-test. Based on the data analysis, the average N-Gain scores for the experimental and control groups were 0.81 (high category) and 0.61 (medium category), respectively. With α = 0.01, the t-test revealed a significant difference in numeracy enhancement between the experimental and control groups. In conclusion, the GASING learning method effectively enhances junior high school students' numeracy.
