Abstract

Many studies indicate that primary school students face problems in answering Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) mathematics questions compared to Lower-Order Thinking Skills (LOTS). The objective of this study is to investigate primary school students’ performance in answering HOTS and LOTS mathematics questions according to gender. A descriptive research design was employed in this study to collect quantitative data. The mathematics test was administered in the study and used to measure the students’ performance in HOTS and LOTS questions. The sample of the study consists of 50 primary school students in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. The data was analyzed using SPSS Programme for Windows version 25. The findings indicate that there is no significant difference between the male and female students in their performance for both LOTS and HOTS mathematics questions. However, this research only involves participants from one primary school, further research should include a larger sample for better generalization.
