many countries around the world including Indonesia. The last PISA results, the
rank of mathematics for Indonesian students is 61 over 65 countries. Many people

levels. This paper discuss how can we improve the performance of Indonesian
students in the next PISA. First, mathematics literacy and PISA framework
including context, content, competence and problem format are briefly described.
Then, examples of PISA items from level 1 to level 6 are presented. Furthermore, it
will be described how to design PISA-like problems Finally, it will be discussed how
can performance of students in the next PISA might be increased by using and
inserting PISA-like problems both to formative assessment and to UN.
