<p style="text-align: justify;">Numeracy is one of the essential competencies that the objectives of teaching math to primary students should be towards. However, many research findings show that the problem of “innumeracy” frequently exists at primary schools. That means children still do not feel at home in the world of numbers and operations. Therefore, the paper aims to apply the realistic mathematics education (RME) approach to tackling the problem of innumeracy, in the case of teaching the multiplication of two natural numbers to primary students. We conducted a pedagogical experiment with 46 grade 2 students who have not studied the multiplication yet. The pedagogical experiment lasted in six lessons, included seven activities and nine worksheets which are designed according to fundamental principles of RME by researchers. This is mainly a qualitative study. Based on data obtained from classroom observations and students’ response on worksheets, under the perspective of RME, the article pointed out how mathematization processes took place throughout students' activities, their attitudes towards math learning, and their learning outcomes. The study results found that students were more interested in math learning and understood the concepts of multiplication of two natural numbers.</p>

Using the real things and engaging the envoiroment in mathematics learning will assist the learners in understanding the concept greatly. The support of learning approaches and assessment model will give a positive impact on learning outcomes of students. Through the experimental research with 2 x 2 design found the results that learning apprroaches and assessment models are dependent each other in affecting the student’s mathematics outcomes. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach is more appropriate to use performance assessment model because it can provide a better impact on mathematics learning outcomes after controlling the early numerical ability of students. While the thematic approach is more appropriate to use the paper tests in mathematics learning.
