ML measures the students' ability to use mathematics to solve context related problems in real world. PISA describes the theoretical framework of ML so that mathematics is divided into four categories including: a)change and relationships b)space and shape c)quantity d)uncertainty and data. The categorises in this study were the same as PISA. Examinations were conducted in and. Students included subjects (years old) in and subjects (years old) in that their average score of the two groups were statistically identical. The findings showed no significant differences in mathematical literacy of two groups, but students had weak performance in quantity category in comparison to the other three categories. In quantity category, students in were significantly better than 's. In change and relationship category, students in were significantly better than 's. In other two categories there weren't significant diffrence between students in and .

The purpose of ML is students' ability to use mathematics to solve context related problems in real world .In the theoretical framework of ML in the international PISA study, mathematics is divided four categories space and shape, change and relationships, quantity and uncertainty. A sample of 90 students from elementary school (10-11years old), 118 students from secondary school (14-15 years old) and 70 students from high school (17-18 years old) were tested on mathematical literacy and the Witkin's cognitive style (Group Embedded Figure Test) test. The findings of this study showed that students in elementary school were more successful and literate than secondary and high school students. ML of secondary and high school students showed no significant difference. Also obtained results indicate that FI students in ML test were better than FD students.
