This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Cikupa. Based on existing theories, it is known that this research hypothesizes that learning literacy and numeracy in social studies subjects can develop students' 21st-century skills. This study used a population of all SMP Negeri 2 Cikupa, which amounted to 1165 students in grades 7, 8, and 9. The samples used just two classes of 9G and 9H classes. The sample was selected through simple random sampling because the population is included in the homogeneous category.
