Based on these data, with an average score of international literacy is 500, it can be concluded that the results of students' mathematical literacy Indonesia significantly below the international average. In other words, the ability of Indonesian students to identify, understand, and use the basics of mathematics in everyday life is still far below the international standards. <br /> <br /> Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach is one of good solution to the problem.
