Abstract

The digitalization of 21st-century in the society is focusing mathematical competence on computer performance where real-life problems are modeled into the language of mathematics. Mathematical literacy helps individuals to recognise the role of mathematics playing in the world and helping them to make the kinds of well judgements and decisions. Intuition is always based on particular schematic structure and spontaneous notion is a fact behind the schematic. If student are solving the problem, they use schematic structure. This research used the qualitative method with case study strategy. This study aims to describe intuition on mathematical literacy issues of the student from private high vocational school. This research use test method similar problems mathematical literacy in PISA and in-depth interviews. The subject of this study was a student who has first rank in the class. Based on the result of the research, the use of intuition to solve mathematical literacy problem is affirmatory intuition and anticapatory intuition.
