Abstract

Early numeracy skills are one of the fundamental foundations for children’s future mathematical development. However, various studies show that early childhood numeracy skills in Indonesia are still relatively low, while teachers’ instructional practices tend to be monotonous and lack the use of innovative media. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the interactive multimedia Ocean Numbers in improving early numeracy skills of young children. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The subjects were 27 children aged 5–6 years at TK Pembina Danau Kerinci, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was an early numeracy test that had undergone expert validation, empirical validity testing, and reliability testing, and was declared feasible for use. Data analysis included normality testing, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores, with the mean score increasing from 43.95 to 83.95 (sig. 0.000 < 0.05). The N-Gain score of 0.71 was categorized as high, indicating that the interactive multimedia Ocean Numbers was effective in enhancing children’s early numeracy skills. Thus, this study strengthens the evidence that interactive multimedia can serve as an innovative and practical learning medium for early childhood teachers in facilitating engaging and meaningful numeracy learning.
