<p style="text-align: justify;">Literacy ability is an individual's ability to reason, formulate, solve, and interpret mathematically to solve problems related to daily life. Executive function is a cognitive aspect that has a relation with mathematical literacy. One of some aspects that affects the low mathematical literacy ability is the aspect of executive function. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of mathematical literacy based on the executive function aspects of 15 years old students. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach is employed in this study. The present research applies interview guidelines, questionnaires, and students' mathematical literacy tests as the instruments. Research subjects are junior high school students in grade VIII from two different schools. The result shows that the students' executive function influences mathematical literacy ability. Students' mathematical literacy ability is not fully achieved by fulfilling all the indicators involved. Another aspect found in the research is the low critical thinking ability impacts the achievement of mathematical literacy ability indicators.</p>

This research aimed to produce questions of mathematical literacy ability of Mathematical literacy ability on Triangular material for Class VII Junior High School students that are valid and practical and have a good level of difficulty and discriminatory index. This research used the Tessmer development model. Tessmer's development stages include preliminary, self-evaluation, expert review, one-to-one, and small group. The test subjects of this study were class VII students of SMP Negeri 02 Kepahiang, totaling 30 students. The selection of test subjects includes high, medium and low abilities. The data analysis technique of this study used qualitative analysis at the expert review and one to one stage and quantitative analysis at the small group stage by analyzing items based on the level of difficulty and discriminating power index. The results of the research show that the 10 questions developed, 10 questions with indicators of mathematical literacy ability on triangular material are valid and practical, 7 questions are said to be good based on the level of difficulty and discriminatory index, so that they can be used by all students of SMPN 02 Kepahiang.

AbstrakPada zaman sekarang, pembelajaran semakin menigkat. Begitu pula pada pelajaran matematika. Siswa lebih dituntut untuk bukan hanya sekadar mampu berhitung saja, tapi mampu mengaplikasikannya dalam memecahkan masalah dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemapuan literasi matematis siswa SMP kelas VIII di Kp. Panawuan Rt.02/Rw.10. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah deskriftif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 4 orang yang diambil secara acak. Berdasarkan hasill penelitian, meskipun soal yang diberikan adalah soal-soal standar atau rutin dan tergolong mudah karena mengambil level 1 dan 2. Seluruh subjek penelitiannya merasa kewalahan dan kesulitan dalam menafsirkan dan mengaplikasikan rumus yang sudah mereka ketahui dalam menyelesaikan masalah yang diberikan. Simpulan yang dapat diambil adalah kemampuan literasi matematis siswa dalam penelitian ini masih terbilang rendah karena siswa masih merasa kesulitan dalam menghadapi soal PISA dengan level 1 dan 2. AbstractIn this day and age, learning is increasing. Likewise in math lessons. Students are more required to not only be able to count, but also be able to apply it in solving problems in everyday life. This study aims to analyze the mathematical literacy skills of the VIII grade junior high school students at Kp. Panawuan Rt.02 / Rw. 10. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects consisted of 4 people who were taken randomly. Based on the research results, although the questions given are standard or routine and are relatively easy because they take levels 1 and 2. All research subjects feel overwhelmed and have difficulty in interpreting and applying the formulas they already know in solving the problems given. The conclusion that can be drawn is that students' mathematical literacy skills in this study are still low because students still find it difficult to face PISA questions with levels 1 and 2.

This study aims to determine the ability to think critically mathematically based on the motivation of junior high school students. The method in this research using correlational method with quantitative approach. The population in this study is in one of the junior high schools in western Bandung and the number of samples as many as 29 students with heterogeneous ability. Intrumen in this research is in the form of test of critical thinking ability capability with number of seven item and non test in the form of learning motivation scale which consist of 25 scale statement. The results of this study obtained that the ability to think critically mathematically based on learning motivation has a positive effect of 16.2%. While 83.8% influenced in addition to student learning motivation.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan menghasilkan bahan ajar matematika berbasis scientific untuk siswa SMP yang memenuhi kriteria valid, praktis, dan efektif yang berorientasi pada kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian dan pengembangan (Research and Development, R&D) menurut Borg & Gall yang terdiri atas tiga langkah utama yaitu studi pendahuluan, desain produk serta pengembangan dan evaluasi. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII SMPN 1 Palasah dengan Instrumen berupa instrumen tes kemampuan berpikir kritis, lembar validasi para ahli, lembar penilaian kepraktisan dan angket respon siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahan ajar matematika berbasis scientific yang dikembangkan telah memenuhi kriteria valid, praktis dan efektif ditinjau dari kemampuan berpikir kritis matematis. Uji perbedaan keefektifan ini menggunakan uji multivariat Hotteling’s Trace dan uji perbandingan keefektifan menggunakan uji statistik univariat between group yang menunjukkan bahwa bahan ajar berbasis scientific yang digunakan kelas uji coba lebih efektif dibandingkan bahan ajar buku paket biasa yang digunakan pada kelas kontrol.  Development of Mathematic Teaching Material Based on Scientific Oriented to the Mathematical Critical Thinking Ability of StudentAbstractThis study aims to produce scientific-based mathematics worksheets for junior high school students that meet the criteria of valid, practical, and effective oriented mathematical critical thinking skills. This is a research and development (R & D) according to Borg & Gall which consists of three main steps, namely preliminary study, product design and development and evaluation. The subjects of this study were the eighth grade students of SMPN 1 Palasah with instruments in the form of critical thinking ability tests, expert validation sheets, practicality assessment sheets and student response questionnaires. The effectiveness of teaching materials is shown based on the percentage of the number of students who are at least in the good category at 95.8% and this effectivesness test uses multivariate Hotteling’s Trace test adn comparison of effectiveness test using univariate statistical test between groups and the result show that the teaching materials of scientific-based worksheets are more effective than teaching materials for general textbooks.
