Abstract

This study aims to produce a set of mathematical literacy-items with Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) as a context that is valid to assess students^ mathematical literacy. Steps used in this study consist of analyzing, designing, theoretical validation, revising, limited testing to students, and evaluating. Written tests were conducted to collect seventh-grade students of junior high school data. Mathematical literacy items consist of three items with three indicators and competency clusters. The indicators are formulating, employing, and interpreting mathematics. The results show that the mathematical literacy items which are produced have been valid and practical, so it can be used to assess mathematical literacy ability.
