This research was conducted at SMP N 9 Kota Jambi in the eighth grade during the 2023/2024 academic year. The study employs a qualitative research design with a descriptive approach. The data for this research consists of the results of mathematical literacy tests, observations, and student interviews sourced from eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 9 Kota Jambi. The technique used for selecting research subjects is purposive sampling. Data collection techniques include mathematical literacy tests, observations, and interviews with the research subjects. Data analysis techniques involve data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results reveal that visual and auditory students can formulate situations mathematically, employ mathematical concepts, facts, and procedures, and interpret, apply, and evaluate mathematical outcomes. In contrast, kinesthetic students can only meet the indicator of formulating problems mathematically. Based on the research findings, it concluded that visual and auditory students possess mathematical literacy skills, whereas kinesthetic students do not meet the indicators of mathematical literacy skills.
