Exploring the Use of Arithmetic Operation Games to Develop Mathematical Literacy and Numeracy in Elementary Schools

This study explores using arithmetic operation games in mathematics learning to improve the literacy and numeracy of grade 3 elementary school students. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and analysis of
LKPD used in the learning process. The study results indicate that arithmetic operation games
can increase student motivation and involvement in mathematics learning. Students find standing
basic arithmetic operation concepts such as addition and subtraction through fun and interactive
activities. In addition, this game also helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving
skills. However, using this game requires proper time management, and teacher skills in facilitating learning activities by learning objectives.
