Background: The Adiwiyata School Program and the Independent Curriculum promote sustainability in Indonesian schools, but its integration into mathematics education is still rarely examined. This study uniquely addresses this gap by investigating how sustainability themes enrich contextual mathematics learning at the elementary level.
Aims: It aims to evaluate how sustainability principles are integrated into mathematics learning in SD Negeri 1 Merbau Mataram and examine its impact on students' environmental attitudes and numeracy engagement.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative approach with a CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model was used. Data was collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis involving school leaders, teachers, and students.
Results: Findings show that 85% of lesson plans include local environmental content, and 85% of students demonstrate strong environmental awareness through math-related projects. Students apply measurement, data analysis, and fractions in real-world contexts such as hydroponics, composting, and recycling, which strengthen contextual understanding and problem-solving skills.
Conclusion: This study highlights how sustainability themes enrich mathematics education in Indonesian schools, supported by school policies, infrastructure, and community engagement. These findings offer insights into developing interdisciplinary teaching strategies and teacher training programs that integrate sustainability into mathematics learning. This contribution provides a practical model for other schools to simultaneously strengthen sustainability and numeracy
