Abstract
The purposes of this research were 1) to develop lesson plans based on heuristics and higher order questions which enhance the mathematical problem-solving ability of function based on 70/70 criteria, 2) to compare the mathematical problems-solving ability of function after participating in the learning activities based on heuristics and higher order questions with 70 percent criteria, and 3) to compare the mathematics learning achievement of function after participating in the learning activities based on heuristics and higher order questions with 70 percent criteria. The instruments used for collecting data were 1) 8 lesson plans based on heuristics and higher order questions of function, 2) 5 items of subjective test to assess mathematical problem-solving ability of function, and 3) 20 four-option items of mathematics learning achievement test. Statistics used in the research included: a percentage, a mean, a standard deviation and t - test for one sample. The research findings were as follows: 1) the lesson plans based on heuristics and higher order questions, which enhance the mathematical problem-solving ability of function were found that the efficiency were 86.72/82.45 according to the 70/70 criteria, 2) the mathematical problem-solving ability of function after participating in the learning activities based on heuristics and higher order questions was statistically higher than the 70-percent criterion at .05 level, and 3) the mathematics learning achievement of function after participating in the learning activities based on heuristics and higher order questions was statistically higher than the 70-percent criterion at .05 level.
