摘要：AbstractThe purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between seventh grade secondary students’ arithmetic performance and their mathematical literacy. The study group was comprised of 297 students, selected via random sampling from among seventh grade students enrolled in Zübeyde Hanım Secondary School in Serdivan, Sakarya during the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 academic years. The relationship survey, a quantitative research model, was employed in the study. The data collection instruments utilized in the study were the Arithmetic Tempo Test (Tempo Test Rekenen, TTR; De Vos, 1992), which was used to test students’ arithmetic performance, and sample 7th grade PISA questions published by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE), used to measure mathematical literacy. The statistical analyses yielded a moderate level of relationship between mathematical literacy and arithmetic performance levels.
