Abstract
This study aims at how students can solve calculus problems must go through many processes or strategies needed to get a decision that can be applied with VBA for Excel as visualization and interactive media. There are several indicators for measuring High Order Thinking, namely a) the way students analyze the problem by making the algorithm stage, b) Students evaluate the results of work that are matched with making VBA media for Excel, judging from the decision to conclude the results of the answers, c) Students are able to construct, develop , and formulate the problem. The instruments used are taken from non-routine calculus questions related to daily life, so that students to master calculus are not only sufficiently understanding but students are able to interpret calculus that can be applied and developed by their own experience not only to get results in numbers but the way students think about deciding a conclusion related to ICT-based technology.
