Abstract: This research aims to analyze students' mathematical problem solving abilities in solving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) oriented mathematics problems in Algebra material. Students have the opportunity to find out to what extent their abilities are in solving problems. This research can provide experience in solving mathematics problems that can measure high-level thinking abilities. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The subjects of this research consisted of 6 students of class VIII Science 4 at MTs Negeri 1 Surakarta. Data collection techniques consist of questionnaires, tests and interviews. Data analysis techniques consist of data presentation, data reduction, and conclusions. The results of this research are the mathematical problem solving abilities of class VIII Science 4 students based on the visual learning style type which is the same as the auditory learning style in solving problems on SPLDV material, namely being able to carry out up to the fourth stage of Polya (understanding problems, making problem solving plans, solving problems, and examining returning the process and results of problem solving). Meanwhile, the mathematical problem solving abilities of class VIII Science 4 students are based on the kinesthetic learning style type, namely implementing up to the third stage of Polya (understanding the problem, making a problem solving plan, and solving the problem).
