Abstract
Mathematical literacy is one of the necessary performances to apply mathematical knowledge and skill in real-life. The objective of this research is to develop grade 11 student’s mathematical literacy through mathematical modelling in the topic of sequences and series. The mathematical modelling is a process that uses mathematics to represent, analyze, make predictions or otherwise provide insight into real-world phenomena. The participants are 36 11thgrade students along with the classroom action research methodology. The results of this study demonstrate that the competency of mathematical literacy can be enhanced through the mathematical modelling. The research shows the improvement of mathematical literacy revealing in processes of mathematical modelling, which are formulating situations mathematically and interpreting, applying and evaluating mathematical outcomes. However, employing mathematical concepts, facts, procedures, and reasoning does not show noticeable improvement. It is necessary for teachers to provide familiar situations to make more meaningful and tangible lesson for students.
