This study aims to identify and describe the mathematical literacy skills of fifth grade elementary school students. This study was conducted in one of the primary school in Pekanbaru from January to March 2020. The type of research used was a case study. The subject of this research was 37 fifth grade elementary school students. The instrument was arranged referring to the questions issued by PISA. After the instrument were validated by two experts and tested on students, the next step was used to retrieve data. The data collected is then grouped and categorized according to the device that has been created. The results of the data processing showed that most of the subjects had not been able to answer the questions at level 4 or above, while for the answered level it was broken down as follows; the mathematical literacy achievement of fifth grade elementary school students that reached level 1 were 38%, in level 2 there were 54%, and in level 3 there were 8%. From these data results, it appears that in general the fifth-grade elementary school students have a very low level in mathematical literacy skills, meaning that the learning technique they have gained so far has not been able to build mathematical literacy skills.

Students’ low mathematics literacy skills are due to the lack of students' skills to solve mathematical problems related to the real world. The objective of this study is to analyse the improvement of mathematics literacy skills of fifth-grade elementary school students and describe the mathematical literacy skills of elementary students through the PMRI approach. The method used was a mixed method with concurrent embedded design to analyse quantitative data on the quality of the PMRI approach and qualitative data to analyse the mathematical literacy skills of fifth-grade elementary school students. The results show that by using the PMRI approach, classical mastery learning can be achieved and the average students’ mathematical literacy skills are higher than the expository model. It is shown from the classical completeness results , it is 2.065> 0.4678. Therefore, the proportion of students who learn through the PMRI approach reaches more than 75%. While the data analysis of mathematics literacy skills of fifth-grade elementary school students has good ability in expressing mathematical ideas, turning problems into mathematical models, using strategies, symbols and tools correctly, and can make conclusions.

This research was conducted based on students’ low attention toward the implementation of learning using powerpoint so that it made the students lack of understanding and it caused the repetitive explanation of learning materials delivered by educators. This research aimed to produce a learning video media product using Prezi for fifth grade elementary school students on the Environmental Theme of Sahabat Kita, a valid sub-theme of Environmental Preservation Efforts. The type of this research was research and development carried out using ADDIE model. In the Implementation Phase, the test of learning video media products involving students was not carried out due to the Covid-19 pandemic conditions. The method of data collection was in the form of an instrument. The subjects of this study were two content subjects and two learning media experts. The technique used in conducting data analysis on the validity test of learning video media using Prezi was the Mean formula, calculating the percentage of each subject, and the overall percentage formula for the subject. The results of subject content validity conducted by two subject content experts obtained a percentage of 94.53% with very good qualifications. The results of the validity of learning video media conducted by two learning media experts obtained a percentage of 95.83% with very good qualifications. Thus, it can be said that the learning video media using Prezi that has been developed is valid, so it is feasible to be used to support the learning process on the Environmental Theme of Sahabat Kita, the Sub-theme of Environmental Preservation for fifth grade elementary school students.
