everyday life. In addition, problems using context will make it easier for students to put
mathematics into context so that it will help students use literacy skills in answering
questions, and can challenge students' mathematical thinking. This research method is a
design research type of development study. The subjects in this study were grade IX students
of SMPN 14 Palaran and SMPIT Fastabiqul Khairat Samarinda with a maximum age of 15
