    • Abstract:
      Background: This study aims to map the research landscape on numeracy literacy in primary education using bibliometric analysis to identify trends, influential works, thematic developments, and collaboration patterns. Material/Method: Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using a set of defined keywords, limited to English-language journal articles published between 2013 and 2023, resulting in 242 eligible documents. Analysis was performed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny to conduct performance analysis, co-word analysis, co-citation mapping, and thematic evolution tracking. Results: The findings show a significant increase in research output over the past decade, with Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States as the most productive countries, and Indonesia emerging among the top contributors. Thematic analysis revealed dominant clusters related to foundational numeracy and literacy skills and emerging topics such as gamification, AI-assisted personalized learning, and equity-focused interventions. Despite growing global interest, international collaboration remains limited. Conclusion: This study contributes by integrating numeracy and literacy within primary education, highlighting innovation-driven themes and equity concerns. The results provide actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers to design context-sensitive instructional strategies, strengthen cross-sectoral collaboration, and address underexplored research areas. This study identifies literature trends on numeracy literacy in primary education and offers important implications for instructional design, educational policy, and future research.
