This is a descriptive research which aims to describe mathematical literacy of male and female students by solving PISA problem. Mathematical problems are not only related to calculations, but how our ability to apply mathematical knowledge to solve problems in daily life. The importance of mathematical literacy can be seen from the PISA. The content of this research is shape and space content. Determination of this mathematical level is corresponding by some indicators which has been developed. It has three levels that consist of low level, medium level and high level. It has been addapted with 6 indicators of mathematical literacy of PISA. The result of this research is male students reach low level 43,75%, medium level 37,5% and high level 18,75%. While, female students reach low level 11,11%, and medium level 88,89%.
