description The purposes of this study were, to identify students’ higher order thinking skills and their problem posing ability, as well as to ascertain relationships between them. The study, involving a total of 28 secondary school students as respondents, used two instruments, namely, A Higher Order Thinking Skills Test and A Mathematical Problem Posing Instrument. The results of the study revealed that, students’ achievements in both higher order thinking skills and their ability in posing mathematics problem were moderate with a mean score of 49.46 (s.d 12.64) and 48.57 (s.d 35.45) respectively, while the relationships between these two variables were also moderately correlated, with r = 0.515 (p <0_05).
