“…Uncertainty and data are two mathematical literacy topics covered by the PISA test. One aspect of mathematics analysis in various problems is the domain or content of uncertainty and data in mathematics (Lara-Porras et al, 2019;OECD, 2019). The questions presented in the form of mathematical problems that involve context from daily life demonstrate that students' abilities to solve contextual problems using statistical concepts and opportunities still need to be improved.…”

Indonesia's participation in PISA is less satisfactory, particularly in mathematics. Uncertainty and data are two of the PISA content areas being evaluated. Therefore the aim of this study is to analyze students' abilities to solve mathematical problems such as PISA on uncertainty and data content to map student readiness for PISA. This study is kind of qualitative study used a case study design. The sample in this study was 84 students of grade IX junior high school who were selected with a simple random sampling technique. The data collection method employs both test and non-test instruments. The data analysis technique used in this study consist of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion and verification. The results showed that 689 students scored out of 1344, representing 51.41%. These results show that students' ability to solve math problems such as PISA on uncertainty and data content is in the moderate category. While each material, namely statistics and opportunities, is in the high and low categories. This condition is based on learning that has yet to lead students to contextual problems. With these results, it is hoped that there will be efforts to improve the learning process by involving problems such as PISA as habituation.

“…This is because students are still not thorough and are still not familiar with problems accompanied by answer arguments (Amir & Amir, 2021;Brown, 2017;Chu et al, 2017). Math literacy can be said to be good if it can analyze, reason, and communicate mathematical knowledge and skills effectively and can solve and interpret mathematical solutions (Armstrong et al, 2018;Lara-Porras et al, 2019).…”

“…It is in line with previous research that proves that students' HOTS levels can influence students when solving math literacy-based problems. Meanwhile, students whose HOTS level is still low will be able to affect by the quality of students' math literacy (Lara-Porras et al, 2019;Purpura & Schmitt, 2019). However, if students' thinking skills are at a high level, students will be able to adapt easily to solving math literacy problems (Campbell et al, 2020;Ozeno, 2021;Wilkinson, 2018).…”

“…However, if students' thinking skills are at a high level, students will be able to adapt easily to solving math literacy problems (Campbell et al, 2020;Ozeno, 2021;Wilkinson, 2018). Therefore, previous research recommend that primary school students still need more opportunities to learn and familiarize themselves with contextual math literacy problems in various situations (Amir et al, 2019;Kolar & Hodnik, 2021;Kurniawati & Amir, 2022;Lara-Porras et al, 2019). The implication of this research is to make an initial contribution to developing an authentic math literacy instrument by referring to the math literacy ability and the HOTS level of primary students.…”

“…The success of literacy in mathematics learning can impact students' mathematical performance at the primary school level and the Bagus Ali Rachman / Primary Students' Math Literacy in terms of Higher Order Thinking Skill next level (Amir et al, 2019;Zainiyah & Marsigit, 2019). Experts call literacy skills in mathematics learning the term math literacy (Armstrong et al, 2018;Lara-Porras et al, 2019). The importance of mastering math literacy in the context of problem-solving, namely that students are expected to be able to involve, formulate, and solve mathematical problems in various contexts (Kolar & Hodnik, 2021;Mevarech & Fan, 2018).…”

Primary students' math literacy is still inadequate. This is due to the limited number of problems based on math literacy, while studies analyzing math literacy require high-order thinking skills (HOTS). This study aims to develop instruments and analyze primary students' math literacy by reviewing high order thinking (HOTS). The study participants were 30 fifth-grade primary school students by grouping students into three HOTS levels: low, medium, and high. The study method uses a mixed-method (quantitative and qualitative) with an explanatory sequential design. The research instrument is an initial math literacy test (ML-T) that focuses on content, context, process, and level. Data analysis used descriptive statistics. The results of the study resulted in 15 ML-T which had been declared valid and reliable, divided into 6 items at levels 1-2 (easy), 5 items at levels 3-4 (enough), and 4 items at levels 5-6 (hard). The results of another study show that the success of primary students' math literacy depends on the level of ML-T problems and students' HOTS abilities. Higher ML-T levels tend to be completed with math literacy in the perspective of higher HOTS levels of students. This study's implication is to contribute to developing authentic math literacy instruments and analyzing the success of primary students' math literacy by looking at the HOTS level.
