In this study, researchers used a descriptive qualitative approach with a Realistic Mathematic Education (RME) learning model, which was carried out using field observation techniques and interviews with a research sample of 10 students. Data analysis using data reduction, data display, and conclusion of this analysis aims to show that there is a difference in the average numeracy ability of elementary school students before and after being given learning media in the form of traditional congklak games by selecting several students who have the same ability as a sample. The results of the research obtained showed there were differences in the numeracy ability of grade 1 elementary school students after and after being given the traditional game of congklak.
