Thesis.Jakarta: Panca Sakti Bekasi College of Teacher Training and Education. 2024. This research aims to improve the ability to count, one of the aspects that must be developed in early childhood, children aged 4-5 years in the A RA Mifthul Falah group, Cikajang District, Garut Regency.

Based on the results of the observation phase of learning practices in cycles I and II, recorded in the reflection sheet after learning, it shows that there has been an increase in children's numeracy development through providing stimulation in counting activities using number trees as media. The percentage increase in cycle I was 65.2% and further increased in cycle II to 86.8%, so it can be concluded that this research can increase the ability to calculate using number trees in group A at RA Miftahul Falah.
