“…The term mathematical ability means to perform a mathematical activity efficiently, to act appropriately in situations where mathematics is present [9]. In addition, in their analysis of the theoretical definitions of mathematical ability, problem solving is highlighted as a characteristic element [10], [11], [12], [9], [13], [14], [15], since the basis of mathematics lies in solving everyday life and professional problems.…”

The aim of the research is to analyze companies’ demand of workforce with mathematical skills. The type of sample was not probabilistic by selfdetermination and 255 companies’ managers were surveyed. The data matrix was analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and the use of polychoric matrices. The results show that companies require their employees to know and remember mathematical operations that allow them to be fast and precise in their calculations; a better understanding of mathematics to improve their calculations in computer applications. They also need employees capable of performing calculations that allow them to solve complicated financial problems for better financial decision making.

“…(Sari & Masri, 2020). Based on the analysis of the students' difficulties refer to the PISA indicator level 3 is the students who are lacking in solving mathematical questions are caused by a lack of understanding of mathematical concepts (Al-Mutawah et al, 2019). The students ought to focus on making mathematical problem solving strategies to solve the qustions correctly.…”

Analysis of the Difficulties of Junior High School Students in Solving PISA Model Mathematics Problems. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the difficulties of students in working on PISA-model-math problems in Junior High School. Methods:The samples used in this qualitative research were 24 students of SMP Negeri 1 Padang Bolak class IX-A and 11 students of SMP Negeri 2 Padang Bolak class IX-B.The data collection technique used in this study was a written test of 6 essay questions that had been declared valid and reliable as well as interviews. Findings: Some of difficulties experienced by students were understanding the meaning of the problem, converting the problem into mathematical sentences, planning and implementing the problem solving, and logically concluding the problem's solution. Conclusions: The mathematical ability to answer PISA at the level 1, 2, and 3 questions was good, while those for levels 4, 5, and 6 were still in the low category.

This descriptive design study evaluated the mathematical thinking attainment level of 649 High School leavers, ages 18 to 19 years, in the context of their preparation for facing the challenges of the tertiary level math curriculum. The findings depict students' low level of mathematical thinking attainment regarding their paucity in critical thinking and a lack of heuristics repertoire as a guide to employing their contextual knowledge in solving fundamental non-routine problems. These findings are a matter of concern as there seems to be a mutual exclusivity between the content learned in school and the ability of students to think mathematically.
