Abstract: This study aims to develop valid and practical PISA-like mathematics problems contextualized within Jambi batik patterns. A design research methodology in the form of development studies was chosen for this study, which consists of preliminary, prototyping, and assessment phases. The prototyping phase included self-evaluation, expert review, one-on-one evaluation, small group evaluation, and field testing. The participants were 30 eighth-grade junior high school students in Jambi City. Data were collected through walk-throughs, tests, and questionnaires. The study produced valid PISA-like mathematics problems within the context of Jambi batik patterns. They were valid in terms of content, aligning with the PISA framework: construct, as they conformed to the eighth-grade curriculum; language, by adhering to the PUEBI (General Guidelines for Indonesian Spelling); and avoiding ambiguity. The problems were also deemed practical, as they were usable, understandable, and engaging for students. The findings of this study were that the questions produced had a potential effect, in enhancing students' mathematical literacy skills.
