Abstract: Mathematics learning has an important role in improving the quality of human resources. In order to achieve these objectives, mathematics learning should be able to facilitate individuals to develop higher order thinking skills. Fact on field indicate that mathematics learning in Indonesia has not oriented to higher order thinking skills. It can be seen from the low achievement of Indonesian students in the TIMSS study. Some efforts should be made to improve mathematical higher order thinking skills of senior high school students, namely: (1) involve students in activities of non-routine problem solving; (2) facilitating students to develop the ability to analyze and evaluate (critical thinking) and the ability to create (creative thinking); and (3) encourage students to construct their own knowledge.

Keywords: Higher Order Thinking Skills, mathematics learning, non-routine problem solving, critical thinking, creative thinking
