The subjects of this research were 27 grade VII students at Pontianak Cooperative Middle School. Of the 27 students, they will be categorized based on each student's abilities. This research began by providing a self-esteem questionnaire, a test of mathematical literacy skills, and interviews to categorize students' ability levels.

From the research results, it was concluded that students who have high self-esteem meet the indicators: Ability to read and understand mathematical information, such as tables, graphs and diagrams, ability to create and use mathematical algorithms to solve problems and obtain accurate results, ability to create and use models mathematics to solve real life problems and the ability to develop mathematical concepts that are important in everyday life such as proportion, percentage and ratio. Students who have moderate self-esteem meet the indicators: Ability to read and understand mathematical information, such as tables, graphs and diagrams, ability to create and use mathematical algorithms to solve problems and obtain accurate results, ability to create and use mathematical models to solve real life problems . Students who have low self-esteem meet the indicators of the ability to read and understand mathematical information, such as tables, graphs and diagrams.]]>
