This study aims to determine whether or not there is an influence of PBL on the numeracy skills of class VII students of SMP Negeri 4 Mataram on statistics material in the 2024/2025 academic year and to describe the greatest contribution of PBL in improving numeracy skills. This study was motivated by the low numeracy skills of students, which were caused by the use of conventional learning models that were less effective, so that innovative learning strategies were needed according to student needs. This study uses a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method. The research design used was a pre-test post-test control group design.
