Abstract

Early childhood numeracy skills are related to numbers, symbols, data, and data analysis that can be used in solving everyday problems. The urgency of children's numeracy skills is to prepare children academically to enter elementary school. This study aims to identify the numeracy skills of children aged 5-6 years to prepare children academically for primary school. The study was conducted in seven districts and cities in Solo Raya. The sample consisted of 386 children aged 5-6 years. The numeracy skills of 5-6-year-old children were measured using a questionnaire filled out by teachers related to children's abilities in number concepts, geometry, measurement, data analysis, and calculation. Data analysis used descriptive statistics to see the average numeracy skills of children. The results showed that children's numeracy skills were 13.2% in the high category, 67.9% in the medium category, and 18.9% in the low category.
