A key component of many learning difficulties is a significant discrepancy factor between students' ability and academic achievement. The objective of this research is to determine the students' need for mathematics edutainment applications to improve the numeracy ability of students with mathematic learning difficulties in inclusive schools. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The research subject consisted of 17 students of four-grade with mathematic learning difficulties in inclusive schools. The research data was collected by questionnaire, interview, and material analysis. The research results revealed that learning in schools has never used technology-based media, many learning materials have not been achieved, and learning is still adopted by teacher-centered learning. The learning was monotonous, less attractive, and less motivating for students to build mathematical concepts. Based on the results, it is concluded that it is necessary to develop mathematical edutainment applications that allow the realization of effective, adaptive, and fun learning media for involving students and helping students' achievement actively.
