Kemampuan literasi matematis penting bagi siswa untuk memahami dan menyelesaikan masalah dalam konteks nyata. Namun, kemampuan ini sering dipengaruhi oleh faktor non-kognitif seperti Adversity Quotient (AQ), yaitu daya juang siswa dalam menghadapi kesulitan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan kemampuan literasi matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan masalah kontekstual ditinjau dari tingkat AQ. Penelitian dilakukan di SMP Negeri 18 Banda Aceh dengan subjek 31 siswa kelas VIII-4 menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket AQ, tes literasi matematis berdasarkan indikator formulate, employ, dan interpret, serta wawancara terhadap sembilan siswa terpilih. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa kategori climber memiliki kemampuan literasi matematis tinggi, sedangkan siswa kategori camper menuju climber berada pada tingkat sedang dan belum konsisten dalam menafsirkan hasil. Siswa kategori camper memiliki kemampuan rendah karena cenderung menyelesaikan soal tanpa memahami konteks dan tidak menuliskan kesimpulan secara tepat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa semakin tinggi Adversity Quotient (AQ) siswa, semakin baik kemampuan literasi matematisnya. Ketahanan dan daya juang siswa menjadi faktor penting dalam penyelesaian masalah kontekstual.

Mathematical literacy skills are important for students to understand and solve problems in real-life contexts. However, these skills are often influenced by non-cognitive factors such as Adversity Quotient (AQ), which is a student's resilience in facing difficulties. This study aims to describe students' mathematical literacy skills in solving contextual problems in terms of their AQ levels. The study was conducted at SMP Negeri 18 Banda Aceh with 31 eighth-grade students as subjects using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through an AQ questionnaire, a mathematical literacy test based on the indicators of formulate, employ, and interpret, and interviews with nine selected students. The results showed that students in the climber category had high mathematical literacy skills, while students in the camper category were at a moderate level and were not consistent in interpreting results. Students in the camper category had low skills because they tended to solve problems without understanding the context and did not write conclusions accurately. This study concludes that the higher a student's Adversity Quotient (AQ), the better their mathematical literacy skills. Student resilience and fighting spirit are important factors in solving contextual problems. Keywords: Adversity Quotient (AQ), Contextual Problems, Mathematical Literacy
