Abstract

Mathematics is not only a matter of students being able to count and be able to complete the tasks given by the teacher. Teachers must equip students to be able to use mathematics as a good tool for understanding, reasoning, communication, connection, and representation, to solve contextual problems that students will face in the future and are very closely related to life. In the 21st century, literacy skills are needed, one of which is mathematical literacy. In the initial test of quadratic functions related to the context of everyday life, the students have difficulty in formulating and consequently, solving the problems. Therefore, the teacher considers the use of differentiated learning by creating a visual model to solve quadratic function problems in the context of everyday life. This paper describes the approach to learning differentiation in mathematics learning to improve the mathematical literacy skills of grade 9 students on quadratic function problems. The research descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected from the implementation of learning and students’ work. The activities were designed based on problem-solving steps to demonstrate mathematical literacy indicators, namely formulating problems, using mathematics, interpreting solutions, and evaluating solutions. In differentiated learning the teacher presents a contextual problem of quadratic functions and adds student practice activities and spreadsheets. The post-test results of 24 students showed that the differentiation learning approach could assist the students in solving contextual problems of quadratic functions.
