Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of mathematical literacy skills of junior high school students in solving PISA model questions. This study aims to describe the percentage at low, medium and high levels of students ability in solving PISA questions. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative with the research subjects are 15 year old junior high school students.
