The Process of Students' Mathematical Literacy in Solving System of Two Variables Linear Equation Based on Level of Ability

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is very important to master because with mathematical literacy problems that exist in everyday life are easy to solve. Material that is closely related to everyday problems is a system of two-variable linear equations such as calculating the price of a grocery item and so on. This research was conducted to explore the process of mathematical literacy based on high, medium, and low abilities using a qualitative approach. To test this research, the researchers involved three class VIII students who obtained the results of tests, interviews, and documentation. From this test it was found that there were differences in the process of mathematical literacy. It can be seen that only S3 is able to meet the four indicators of mathematical literacy. While S2 and S1 are only able to fulfill one to two indicators of mathematical literacy. So for subsequent research, it is expected to be able to develop learning models to improve mathematical literacy skills.Mathematical literacy is very important to master because with mathematical literacy problems that exist in everyday life are easy to solve.
