The development of mathematical literacy in primary schools faces significant challenges due to shifts in national assessment policies and the rapid evolution of digital technology. This community service initiative aims to enhance the professional capacity and digital literacy of primary school teachers through integrated training covering the Academic Ability Test (TKA) in Mathematics, local ethnomathematics, and the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The implementation methodology includes coordination, needs assessment, interactive workshops, guided practical mentoring, and evaluation, involving teachers from private primary schools in Karanganyar Regency in July 2026. The outcomes demonstrate a significant improvement in teacher competency, evidenced by: (1) a deeper understanding of TKA Mathematics assessment instruments based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS); (2) the development of draft ethnomathematics teaching materials that incorporate local wisdom, such as the temples and batik traditions of Karanganyar; and (3) the creation of a prototype for an adaptive, interactive, AI-assisted mathematics game for primary school students. From a managerial perspective, this initiative encourages school administrators to integrate technology-based learning and establish professional learning communities among teachers, thereby fostering a sustainable capacity for independent innovation. This integration model holds great potential for broader replication to support the achievement of inclusive, high-quality education.
