The recent “Algebra for all” era has meant “the best of times and the worst of times” in many middle schools. At one extreme, many adolescents delight in the opportunity to study algebra or algebraic thinking and perform well in this course of study. At the other extreme, too many adolescents encounter serious challenges as they delve into fundamental ideas that make up this essential mathematical subject. Instead of viewing algebra as a natural extension of their arithmetic experiences, significant numbers of adolescents do not connect algebraic concepts with previously learned ideas. For instance, data from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) showed that at the international level, only 47 percent of the seventh graders and only 58 percent of the eighth graders were able to recognize that m + m + m + m was equivalent to 4m (Beaton et al. 1996).

Students’ ability to mathematical literacy is very important in their math learning process. Less ability of mathematical literacy as students’ way of thinking, argumentation and creating is no improvement so they face difficulties in solving math problems in their learning process related to real life. The analysis of the result from students of SMP Kristen 1 Mollo Selatan shows that they are still a low inability of mathematical literacy. The effect is questions used as exercise are common questions and not related to real life. To solve this problem, the researcher implemented Problem Based Learning (PBL) as a teaching literacy to improve students’ mathematical literacy abilities. This study will compare two classes in which one of them treated with PBL one of the other ones was not treated with PBL. A quasi-experiment quantitative method that used in this study with nonequivalent control group design. Two classes were selected as the sample by using simple random sampling. An essay test related to students’ mathematical literacy ability was used as the instrument to collect the data. The analysis technique in this study was an independent sample t-test to the result showed that the class which was treated used the PBL method was better than the class which was not treated used the PBL method. Students’ mathematical literacy ability in the PBL class was significantly proved in the high category with the score gain 0,8.
