Abstract :
Background - Early Childhood Education (ECED)
plays an important role in forming the basis of
children's development in the early stages of their lives.
One of the crucial aspects to be considered in the ECD
environment is the analysis of numeracy activities,
which aims to foster 4C (Communication,
Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity) skills
in children.
Objective - The main objective in this study is to
describe the implementation of numeracy introduction
activities in early childhood in SIKL Malaysia PAUD
institution.
Method - This study was conducted by explaining the
phenomenon of the implementation of numeracy
activities in early childhood and its relationship with 4C
skills as it is according to what is implemented in SIKL
Kindergarten using numbers so that information is
obtained about it, then conclusions are drawn. The
subjects of this study were young children, teachers and
principals at an Indonesian kindergarten in Kuala
Lumpur. Data collection techniques were carried out
through observation, interviews, and documents
obtained from research subjects/informants. Data
collection techniques use observation data as primary
data and interviews as secondary data. Data analysis
technique using descriptive qualitative
Findings - Based on the results of research that has been
conducted on the analysis of numeracy activities at
SIKL Malaysia PAUD institutions, the introduction of
numeracy concepts is closely related to early literacy
because children are introduced to terms, symbols, signs
to communicate mathematical ideas and find solutions.
Numeracy materials introduced to children after early
include algebra, numbers, geometry, measurement, and
data analysis. The role of the teacher in introducing
numeracy is by creating a numeracy-rich environment
by utilizing environmental resources as media and
learning resources, preparing reading materials that
support children's numeracy skills, and making
children's daily activities as a means of learning
numeracy numeracy activities in fostering 4C skills is
that numeracy activities can develop communication,
reasoning and cooperation skills.
Managerial Implication - improving communication
skills ensures that numeracy activities are designed to
facilitate communication between children and with
teachers. Involve methods such as discussing, sharing
ideas and presenting numeracy observations. Engageteachers in effective communication training to support
children's language and communication development.
Limitations - The study only describes numeracy
activities in fostering 4C skills in SIKL Malaysia ECD
center. In this study, a qualitative approach was used by
describing data about numeracy activities in learning at
SIKL PAUD institutions in fostering 4C skills through
interview, observation, and documentation techniques.
