Abstract
From outstanding issues, about UN questions in Indonesia adopted from the standard PISA/TIMSS. Skills in PISA questions can be used as a reference to knowing students mathematics literacy skills. The challenge as a researcher now is to present questions that can be used for students practicing questions similar to PISA questions. The purpose of this article is to knowing students mathematical literacy skills in solving PISA type math problems that researchers have developed. The research method in this article is a design research type of development study (Tessmer: 1993) which consists of two stages namely preliminary and formative evaluation. The preliminary stage consists of analysis and design. And the formative evaluation stage consists of self evaluation, expert reviews, one-to-one, small groups, and field test. Students mathematical literacy skills can be seen from the results of the field test. The mathematical literacy skills seen is communication skill, mathematizing skill, representation, reasoning and arguments skill, and skill to use mathematical tools.
