Nais Qonita Salsabila, Sri Subanti, Budi Usodo

Abstract


Mathematical literacy refers to a person's ability to use mathematics in different situations, such as applying and interpreting mathematical concepts and using facts and procedures to explain or predict events. There are seven fundamental abilities involved in mathematical literacy, including: (a) communication, (b) mathematising, (c) representation, (d) reasoning and argument, (e) devising problem-solving strategies, (f) using symbolic, formal, and technical language and operations, and (g) using mathematical tools. This study is a descriptive research with a qualitative approach that aims to describe and explain the mathematical literacy abilities of junior high school students with an auditory learning style. The research subjects were eighth-grade students from Islamic Junior High School (MTsN) 1 Surakarta. Based on the results and discussions, it can be concluded that students with an auditory learning style possess the following mathematical literacy abilities: (a) communication, (b) mathematising, (c) representation, (d) reasoning and argument, (e) devising problem-solving strategies, (f) using symbolic, formal, and technical language and operations, and (g) using mathematical tools. Each of these abilities will be explained in detail in the following discussion.
