Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is a warm conversation in the world of education. Learning media that are able to develop Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are inadequate. This study aims to develop learning media based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) to improve the mathematical communication skills of vocational students. This research is part of a larger study using development research as the method. The subjects of the study were 10th grade students of Wira Harapan Vocational School consisting of 36 students (19 male and 17 female) 2018/2019 academic year and mathematics subject teachers at Wira Harapan Vocational School. Data collected from questionnaires and observations during learning. Data were analyzed using content analysis techniques and code based on the type of student and teacher responses.
