Abstract
This research is motivated by the claim that children must be able to "calistung" (read, write, count) in PAUD institutions. Jarimatika is a tool or media for children to explore with the fingers of their hands. Jarimatika techniques emphasize the mastery of the concept of numbers and fast ways to count. The focus of this research is to analyze mathematics learning to introduce initial arithmetic through fingerprinting techniques, including planning, implementation, and the ability profile that is apparent from children. The approach used is a qualitative approach with a case study method. The results of this study indicate that the planning of mathematics learning through Jarimatika technique has three components, namely the first component of mathematics learning planning to introduce the initial arithmetic in TK Ulil Albab, Serang City; prepared together with school principals, teachers and education personnel, designed in an integrated manner with the Standards for the Achievement of Child Development; the second implementation of mathematics learning is packed with Jarimatika Technique. Therefore, in the introduction of preliminary arithmetic through the fingerprinting technique is continued and used as a recommendation and reference for schools in the development of early arithmetic in early childhood.
