The use of smartphones has now become a necessity for every level of society. In  this era of increasingly sophisticated technology, everything is made quickly and very easily  accessible via smartphone. Smartphones among students are more widely used as a means of  entertainment and learning, especially to improve their mathematical knowledge. Many  students think that mathematics is a scourge in learning activities at school. It cannot be  denied that mathematics will always be related to our lives forever, as simple as counting.  This research aims to analyze students' responses to the influence of smartphones on  elementary school students' numeracy skills. The type of method in this research is qualitative  research. The method used is descriptive-qualitative using instruments in the form of  questionnaires. The data analysis technique in this research uses 4 Likert scale categories,  namely (SS) strongly agree, (S) agree, (TS) disagree, (STS) strongly disagree.

Based on the research results, 37 students  in class VB at SDN 111 Pekanbaru were included in the good category regarding the  influence of smartphones on elementary school students' numeracy skills. The categories  obtained show that the influence of smartphones is not that bad in influencing elementary  school students' numeracy skills
