Analysis of Student's Mathematic Literacy Ability Reviewing from Material Materials Requirements on Square Equations Materials and Square Inequality

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to see students' mathematical literacy in mastering prerequisite material and prove whether mastery of prerequisite material affects or does not affect students in solving mathematical literacy problems on quadratic equations and inequalities. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research which aims to describe students' mathematical literacy skills when solving math problems in terms of mastery of prerequisite material. The research was conducted at SMA 02 Rejang Lebong. This school is located on Jl. Ahmad Yani, East Curup District, Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province in the even semester of 2022/2023 academic year. The research subjects who became the research sample were all students of class X IPA 4. Data collection instruments included a prerequisite material mastery test combined directly with mathematical literacy and interviews. The results show that the higher the mastery of the prerequisite material, the more possible it is to be able to answer mathematical literacy questions correctly and precisely and vice versa, the lower the mastery of the prerequisite material, the more difficult it is to be able to answer mathematical literacy questions correctly and precisely.
