Abstract: Teaching fast
learning students is not enough by giving them ordinary mathematics problems.
Teaching activities for fast learning students bring consequence for teacher to
modify teaching activities from regular to activity that needs Higher Order
Thinking skills. Therefore it is need to develop problems to measure higher
order thinking skills. This study aims
to (1) produce a valid and practical prototype problems to measure Higher Order
Thinking skills in Number Sequences and Series for Acceleration Class Grade IX
(2) see the effects of the problems to measure higher order thinking skills on
students’ achievement in Number Sequence and
Series was tried out to students of acceleration class grade IX . This study use development research that
consists of analyzing, designing, evaluating, and revising. The instrument for
collecting data is written test. Test is used to see students’ achievement in
Number Sequences and Series. All data
are analyzed using descriptive technique. Subjects in this research are
students of Acceleration Class Grade IX of SMP Xaverius Maria Palembang. The
total subject are 22 students The results of analysis are: (1) problems
prototype which is developed has been valid and practical. (2) based on
developing process can be obtained that problems which is developed contains
potential effect to higher order thinking skills of Acceleration Class Grade IX
of SMP Xaverius Maria Palembang shown by written test result score 35.59. It
means that students’ thinking skill is good category. The final conclusion is
the problems which is developed can be used to measure higher order thinking
skills in Number Sequence and Series.
Keywords: problems to measure higher order thinking
skills, number sequences and series, acceleration.
