Mathematical literacy ability can help students to find solutions from everyday life problems. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The purpose of this study was to determine the description of mathematical literacy abilities and profiles of mathematical literacy abilities of eighth grade students of SMP Plus Ihyaul Ulum Muntilan. Data collection techniques used were written tests and in-depth interviews of 6 selected students. The material tested in the written test is the Pythagorean Theorem. The data analysis technique uses the theory of Miles and Huberman, namely data reduction, data presentation and conclusion drawing. Triangulation technique was used to test the validity of the data. The results of this research showed that the achievement of the communicating aspect is 45,54%, mathematising aspect is 99,10%, representation aspect is 67,85%, reasoning and argument is 51,78%, devising strategies for solving problems it is obtained 40,17%, using symbolic, formal and technical language and operations are only 3,57%, using mathematics tools is only 0,89%
