Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine
the performance of mathematics teachers in building
resilience and mathematical literacy towards student
learning outcomes. This type of research is ex post facto
with a sample of 283 students from a population of 961
students consisting of seven states and five private high
schools, and obtained in clusters from twelve sub-districts
in North Sumatra. The research instrument used a
questionnaire and test. The data analysis used descriptive
and inferential analysis. The results of the descriptive
analysis conclude several things, namely (1) the teacher's
performance in building mathematical resilience and
literacy is in the medium category, (2) students'
mathematical resilience, students' mathematical literacy
abilities, and student learning outcomes are in the medium
category. The results of inferential analysis show that the
teacher's performance in building mathematical resilience,
(1) has a high impact on the mathematical resilience of
students which is influenced by students' mathematical
literacy abilities to influence student learning outcomes,
and (2) has a high impact on students' mathematical
literacy abilities which is influenced by students'
mathematical resilience to affect student learning outcomes.
The teacher's performance in building mathematical
literacy, (3) has a high impact on students' mathematical
resilience which is influenced by students' mathematical
literacy abilities to influence student learning outcomes,
and (4) has a high impact on students' mathematical
literacy abilities which is influenced by students'
mathematical resilience to influence student learning
outcomes in math. Thus it can be stated that the
performance of teachers in building resilience and
mathematical literacy has an impact on student learning
outcomes.

1. Introduction
Mathematics is studied in schools from basic education
to higher education in Indonesia. The purpose of
mathematics education is to develop problem-solving
abilities, build students' reasoning and creativity as a basis
for following developments in science and technological
knowledge, and apply them in everyday life. How are the
learning outcomes of Indonesian students in mathematics?
The Programme for International Student Assessment
(PISA) report in 2018 [1] shows that student learning
outcomes have not matched expectations, because the
mathematics education score is ranked 73 out of 78
countries. The focus of the observed ability to determine
the ranking is based on the students' mathematical literacy
abilities. Mathematical literacy is the individual's ability
to formulate, apply and interpret mathematics in various
contexts, including the ability to do mathematical
