The subjects of the study were 15 group A children. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis technique used qualitative analysis, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing or verification. Based on the results of the study, the use of Numberblocks media was able to improve children's early numeracy skills over the course of eight meetings. The results showed that eight children demonstrated very good development, 4 children developed as expected, and three children still required guidance from the teacher.
