Abstract

Abstract. Having good mathematical literacy skills is expected to help students solve problems related to mathematics. The focus of mathematics literacy skills on students is the ability to analyze, justify, and communicate ideas effectively, formulate, solve and interpret mathematical problems in various forms and situations. This study aims to describe students' mathematical literacy skills seen from gender differences. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach with case studies. The study subjects consisted of two male students and two female students from junior high school students. Data was collected through analysis of student work results and interviews.. Students are asked to convey what they are thinking when solving problems in a given mathematical literacy test. After students finish getting the solution from the problem, the researcher classifies the students' answers and analyzes them. Furthermore, the data obtained are grouped and analyzed according to indicators of mathematical literacy skills. Male students have good results from each indicator in mathematical literacy ability, namely in the first indicator of the sixth indicator, while for female students have good mathematical literacy skills for the first indicator, second indicator, third indicator, fourth indicator and sixth indicator, except for the fifth indicator, female students have sufficient mathematical literacy skills.
