Mathematical literacy in Indonesia has until now become a major problem in the study of international PISA surveys. This study aims to describe the abilities of students' mathematical literacy in solving PISA-oriented problems with change and relationship content. This work is descriptive qualitative research. Data collection techniques include tests, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study are carried out with three activities namely reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. To ensure the validity of the data, triangulation technique is used. The research subjects are 31 middle school students of year 9. Based on the analysis of students' abilities by using average calculations and standard deviations, it is obtained that the student ability could be categorized into high, medium, and low ability. The results show that for the five abilities in the process of mathematical literacy, most students had communication skills. However, they have lower ability in mathematical, reasoning and argument, as well as identifying and determining strategies for solving the problems.
