Summary:High-order Thinking Skills (HOTS) are strategic skills that individuals must have in order to succeed in life. Textbooks are important tools to facilitate the development of these skills in the teaching and learning activities. This literature study is intended to analyze the content of HOTS which includes analytical, evaluation and creation skills in junior high school mathematics textbooks in Indonesia. The analysis focused on the HOTS content in some parts of this book, namely the explanation of concepts, example problem and solution and assignment or exercise problem. The results of qualitative data analysis indicate that the HOTS content category in this book for analytical skills is categorized as good, while evaluation skills and creative skills still need to be enriched. Based on the results of the analysis, this article also presents enrichment alternatives to the HOTS content in this book so that it can be used adequately to develop HOTS in the mathematics teaching and learning.
