Sari

In mathematics students must have five competencies: problem solving, communication, reasoning, connections, and mathematical representation. The five competencies are the ability of mathematical literacy. The ability is related to how apply knowledge to the problems of everyday life. As we know that men use more sense or logic while women prefer to use their feelings so that women in society tend to be considered less in academic. So we want to see if it affects the mathematical literacy skills between male and female students at each level. We will conduct mathematics literacy tests on male and female students especially in junior high school because according to the provisions of PISA age to test the mathematics literacy is 13-15 years. We also choose students in SMP BudyaWacana Yogyakarta as the subject of our research. From the tests we have done there are some students who can work on math literacy problems based on PISA with different levels of levels. The result of our research is that there are some students who can do some problems with different levels. Based on the results that have been obtained more male students who can work on math literacy problems based on PISA.
