There are two levels of thinking skill, namely Low Order Thinking Skill (LOTS) and High Order Thinking Skill (HOTS). Now, many countries believe that HOTS is very important in mathematics education. In Indonesia, the HOTS problems were used in the national exam. The purpose of this study was to construct HOTS problem levels and their characteristics. This research method was literature review. The validity of the results of the study used investigator triangulation involving two experts. For this study, four levels of HOTS were constructed. Each level was combined between the cognitive process dimension of Bloom’s taxonomy revised and cognitive domains of Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) 2015. This paper also presented problems on each level. The teacher can use the results of this study to train students doing HOTS problems by starting from the lowest level.
