Abstract

One of the objectives of learning mathematics is for students to be able to solve mathematical problems. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to practice questions that are different from the examples that are often given by teachers, one of which is the Higher Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) type, which is a complex and open ended. In solving HOTS questions, students have different types of thinking. Many types of thinking exist, including predictive and functional types of thinking. This type of research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach that aims to describe students' thinking in solving HOTS questions based on mathematical problem-solving abilities. The subjects of this study were 95 students of class VIII UPT SMP Negeri 9 Gresik for the academic year 2021-2022. The method used is the test method and the interview method. The results showed that out of 95 students there were 18 students with high group math problem-solving abilities, 68 students with moderate math problem-solving abilities, and 9 students with low group math problem-solving abilities. Of the 18 high group students, there are 15 students have the predicative thinking type, 2 students who have the functional thinking type, and 1 student who is not grouped. Of the 68 students in the medium group, 26 students have a predicative thinking type, 22 students have a functional thinking type, and 20 are not grouped. Of the 9 low group students, 2 students have a functional thinking type and 7 students are not grouped
