This study was design research of development study. The subjects in this study were 10th-grade students of Indo Global Mandiri senior high school in Palembang consisting of 20 students. Data were gathered through interviews, observation, and tests. The results of data analysis showed that there were eight valid and practical items of PISA type of uncertainty and data contents. The contents obtained using bicycles and aquatic contexts in Asian Games. The 11 out of 20 students showed reasoning skills and reasonable arguments, and 9 out of 20 students showed reasoning skills and discussions but incomplete. It was because they were not used to solving PISA type problems in learning. Keywords: task design, PISA, aquatic context Abstrak Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menghasilkan soal matematika tipe PISA dengan konteks cabang olahraga akuatik yang valid, praktis, serta memiliki efek potensial. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan design research tipe development study. Subjek dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas X IPA 1 SMA LTI-IGM Palembang yang berjumlah 20 siswa. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara, observasi dan tes. Dari hasil analisis data penelitian ini menghasilkan 8 soal tipe PISA konten uncertainty and data menggunakan konteks sepedan dan akuatik yang valid dan praktis dan dapat disimpulkan bahwa 11 dari 20 siswa menunjukkan kemampuan penalaran dan argumen yang baik dan 9 dari 20 siswa menunjukkan kemampuan penalaran dan argumen tetapi kurang lengkap, hal ini dikarenakan tidak terbiasanya siswa dengan soal-soal tipe PISA dalam pembelajaran.

Statistics is part of the mathematical material consisting of ways of data collection, data processing, and drawing conclusions based on data collection and data analysis performed (Bakker, 2004; Chong, et al. 2017; Tanujaya, et al. 2018). Statistics is widely applied in various disciplines like in natural sciences, business, and industry, where almost every decision made in the field uses statistical reasons (Adams & Lawrence, 2018; Salkind & Frey, 2019). Therefore, statistics is one of the essential subject that must be to learn for students. Many students face difficulties in solving statistical problems that result in low achievement. It happens because students have not been accustomed to solving problems with the characteristics of a real context, and only work on the issues that the teacher exemplifies without knowing the benefits in daily life (Muttaqin, et al. 2017; Saleh, et al. 2018; Cukurova, et al. 2018; Nasution, et al. 2018). It is in line with the results of PISA for uncertainty and data content where in 2003 PISA results, Indonesia was ranked 38 out of 40 countries with a score of 385 (OECD, 2004). While the results of the 2012 PISA, Indonesia was ranked 63 out of 65 countries because the score of Indonesian students, 384, was far below the average OECD score of
