This project aims at developing mathematics enrichment material and its learning design, namely basic number theory for elementary school students which refers to the national education goals and the 2013 Curriculum. This enrichment material is intended to increase students' knowledge and mathematical abilities in elementary schools This project begins with a discussion of the condition of students' mathematical abilities in Indonesia. The current sitution shows of the declining math abilities of Indonesian students and a large of students who have difficulty during the transition from arithmetic to algebra. This encourages the need for basic number theory teaching materials to be given to improve students' mathematical abilities and to help students learn other mathematical materials. In the learning design, the basic number theory material is provided with the discovery learning method. In addition to the learning center for students, this learning method emphasizes students seeking their own knowledge so that the knowledge gained is more meaningful.
