Loose Part, Numeracy, Early ChildhoodAbstract
Early childhood education plays an important role as an initial gate in building a foundation of numeracy that will benefit children throughout their life journey. The low numeracy ability in Indonesia shows the need to introduce numeracy from an early age through concrete, meaningful, and appropriate learning experiences in accordance with children's characteristics. This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, evaluation and challenges in the use of loose part media to introduce the numeracy of early childhood group A at PAUD Al-Kautsar Cilegon. The research uses descriptive qualitative research by collecting data through observation, interviews, documentation and field notes. The research subjects consisted of 10 children of group A and 1 teacher of class of group A. The results of the study showed that the use of loose part media to introduce numeracy skills was integrated into play activities. The numeracy concepts introduced include numbers, patterns, geometry, measurement, and data analysis. Challenges that arise, such as differences in children's abilities and interests, can be overcome through a variety of play activities involving gestures, questions and answers, and providing assistance according to children's needs. Through the use of loose part media, it can provide opportunities for children to understand the concept of numeracy through direct experience with concrete objects in the environment around children. Loose part media can be an effective alternative learning media in introducing numeracy skills in early childhood in a meaningful, contextual and fun way.
