This learning model should encourage student's ability to learn mathematics particularly numbers. This research consists of seven steps according to Borg & Gall named Research & Development, such as research and preliminary information collecting, planning, developing preliminary product, preliminary testing, preliminary product revision, main field testing, and operational product revision. The research method is combined with Multimesia Development Life Cycle according to Luther. Subjects matter expert of the research are education, visual communication and information technology experts in preliminary field testing, and elementary school students for implementation in main field testing. The data were analyzed using the analytic descriptive method and interpreted based on the narrative way as research findings. This mathematics mobile game is very useful to support teachers, it can be used for self-learning and provide motivation to learn mathematics.
