Although many studies investigate mathematical literacy, there is no consensus on the meaning of the term. The aim of this study is to investigate the concept of mathematical literacy of future teachers. The data are collected by semi-structured interview with thirteen Teacher Education Faculty students. The concept of mathematical literacy can be placed in four categories: 1) the knowledge and ability to communicate in mathematical language; 2) the conceptual understanding of concepts, contents and procedures; 3) the application of mathematics in everyday life; 4) the use of mathematical-logical thinking and problem solving. All interviewed students highlighted the students’ ability to formulate, represent and solve mathematical problems as well as the precise and correct use of symbolical mathematical language as a very important competence for mathematical literacy, while almost half of the interviewed excluded the students’ ability to see mathematics as a useful subject as an important competence. The teachers’ beliefs and knowledge significantly impact students’ development of mathematical literacy. Hence it is important to provide the conditions in which the teachers will be able to understand the concept and develop a richer conception of mathematical literacy.

This study explored teachers' beliefs about mathematical problem-solving. It involved 36 identified teachers of Kayonza District in Rwanda via an explanatory mixed-method approach. The findings indicate that most teachers show a positive attitude towards advancing problem-solving in the mathematics classroom. However, they expose different views on its implementation. Role of problem-solving, Mathematical problems, and Problem-solving in Mathematics were identified as main themes. Problem-solving was highlighted as an approach that helps teachers use time adequately and helps students develop critical thinking and reasoning that enable them to face challenges in real life. The study recommends teacher professional development initiatives with their capacity to bring problem-solving to standard.

Problem solving is a very important skill in mathematics that students need to master. These skills require logical thinking, deep understanding, mastery of concepts and making connections with existing knowledge. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of graphic management -based mathematics teaching in problem-solving topics. This study uses a qualitative research approach with a case study design involving one study participant. Participants of the study were randomly selected among year 3 students with a moderate level of Mathematics proficiency. To collect data, graphic management of “Four Corners and A Diamond” and semi -structured interview sessions were conducted. Data collection from graphics management was analyzed descriptively and these interviews were analyzed inductively to obtain specific themes based on the transcripts. Findings of the study show that with this graphic management, students can organize information from questions in the form of appropriate graphics and facilitate their understanding. The implication of this study is that students can solve mathematical problems through the arrangement of information correctly based on the graphic management of "Four Corners and A Diamond". This study can also encourage teachers to use graphic management in helping students to solve non-routine mathematics problems more conceptually.

Teachers Beliefs

This study examines prospective teachers beliefs in their own abilities and effectiveness to impart mathematical literacy to their students, their beliefs about mathematical problem solving, and the relationship between these two belief systems. A total of 567 prospective teachers, majoring in mathematics, science and elementary teacher education programs volunteered to participate in the study. The Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale about Mathematical Literacy and the Beliefs about Mathematical Problem solving instruments were administered to prospective teachers. Results of the study revealed that there was a significant relationship between the beliefs about mathematical problem solving and self-efficacy. Findings of this study indicated that prospective teachers beliefs about mathematical literacy were an important predictor on the beliefs about mathematical problem solving.

The Mind

Metacognition is knowledge and awareness about the process of cognition or learning about the mind and how it works. Solving mathematical problems requires the involvement of metacognition. This study aims to obtain the results of identification of students' level of metacognition in problem-solving and the level of metacognition of students in mathematical literacy on social arithmetic material. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Palimanan. This type of research is qualitative research. The subjects of this study were students of class VII C Middle School 3 Palimanan. Data collected by test and interview methods. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of this study indicate that the level of metacognition of students in solving mathematical problems and mathematical literacy has mixed results. In solving mathematical problems, students who have high learning outcomes are at the level of Reflective Use metacognition, students who have learning outcomes are at the Strategic Use metacognition level, and students who have low learning outcomes are at the Tacit Use metacognition level. Meanwhile, the level of student metacognition in mathematics literacy is not much different from solving mathematical problems. Students who have high learning outcomes are at the Reflective Use metacognition level, students who have learning outcomes are at the Strategic Use metacognition level, and students who have low learning outcomes are at the Aware Use metacognition level. Overall the level of metacognition of students both in solving mathematical problems and in mathematics literacy is at the level of Strategic Use metacognition

This research was motivated by a variety of intelligence possessed by each individual. Where later intelligence was used to solve problems. The one intelligence that can be used in this study was interpersonal. This study aims to describe students' logical thinking in solving realistic mathematical problems in terms of interpersonal intelligence aspects of social sensitivity, social insight, and social communication, especially in mathematics subject matter in the Three Variable Linear Equation System (SPLTV). This research was descriptive. The subjects in this study were three students who had each of the aspects of interpersonal intelligence. Data collection in this study was a questionnaire or questionnaire, tests to solve realistic mathematical problems, interviews, observations, and documentation. Analysis of the data used was the model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through three stages including data condensation, data presentation, and conclusions. The validity of the data used triangulation techniques. The results obtained were students who had interpersonal intelligence aspects of social sensitivity meet one indicator of logical thinking and meet two indicators of problem-solving based on Polya's steps but still lacking. Students who had interpersonal intelligence aspects of social insight meet two indicators of logical thinking and can meet three indicators of problem-solving based on Polya's steps but still lacking. Students who had interpersonal intelligence aspects of social communication met all indicators of logical thinking while being able to meet all indicators of problem-solving.
