This study aims to examine students’ mathematical literacy in solving PISA problems using the Indonesian cultural context. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. As the subject of this study are three 9th grade students with high, average, and low mathematical abilities. In collecting the data, the researchers used three instruments, namely, mathematical ability test, mathematical literacy test, and interview guidelines. The results reveal that student with high mathematical ability meets all indicators in the process of formulating, employing, and interpreting. Otherwise, students with average or low mathematical abilities only meet some indicators in the process of mathematical literacy. Therefore, it is suggested for the teacher to provide practice especially for students having average or low mathematical abilities with literacy problems using contexts that exist in students’ life, such as the Indonesian cultural context

Analogy reasoning is the process of thinking logically and analytically in drawing conclusions based on the similarities between the two things being compared. The purpose of this study is to describe the analogy reasoning of students in solving mathematical problems in terms of high, medium, and low mathematical abilities. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out in class IX-H of SMP Negeri 5 Surabaya in the 2019/2020 school year by 33 students and each subject was selected for each category of mathematical ability. The results of the analysis of Problem Solving Tests and interviews show that students with high, medium, and low mathematical abilities mention information that is known and what is asked for logical reasons on the source and target problem, and explain the relations between the information. This indicates that each subject has an encoding process. Each subject also mentions and explains the concepts used to solve source problems, which means each subject has an inferring process. The difference is, subjects with high mathematical ability mention the same concepts between the source problem and the target problem and explain the concepts used to solve the target problem, then students can complete the target problem. This means that the subject is doing two other processes, namely mapping and applying. Subjects with medium mathematical abilities are mentioning the same concept between the source problem and the target problem but cannot explain the concept used in the target problem. However, the subject only did one of the two indicators in the mapping process, so the analogy reasoning process carried out by the subject was encoding and inferring. While students with low mathematical abilities are stopped in the encoding and inferring processes. Keywords: Analogy Reasoning, Mathematical Abilitiy

The type of this research is a case study research with a qualitative approach. The subject that use in this research are the students who have high mathematical abilities (ST). The research subjects were given geometry tests to construct a flat side space problem I and then interviewed. To test the credibility of the data, time triangulation was carried out by giving geometry tests to construct the flat side space of problem II and conducting interviews. Based on the results of the analysis it was found that in spatial perception ability, ST were able to determine unit cubes located in the horizontal position and vertical position in the cube stack after being manipulated. Besides that for mental rotation ability, ST is able to rotate the position of the cube and imagine the rotation of the cube correctly. ST determines the change of the cube after being rotated 900 counterclockwise by imagining rotating the cube right to the left. As well as in spatial visualization ability, ST is able to determine the change of cubes into different forms and recognize changes in position of the elements of the cube. ST is able to determine the location of the triangle, circle, and quadrilateral image in the cube network that shows the inside of the cube after being rotated twice.
