Variation theory-based mathematics teaching emphasizes variation as necessary condition for learners to be able to discern new aspects of an object of learning. The study aims to describe whether the variation theory-based mathematics teaching is more effective than mathematics teaching using scientific approach in terms of higher order thinking skills of vocational school. This study is quasi-experimental research whose population is all grade X, students of Cipta Bhakti Husada Vocational School. The data collecting instrument in this research was a test, consisting of the higher order thinking skills questions. The result of the study at significance level of 5% show that the variation theory-based mathematics teaching is more effective than mathematics teaching using scientific approach.
