This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Bar Model in the topic Length word problem solving questions involving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This study involved 51 Year 4 pupils from the District of Baram, Marudi, Sarawak. This study focuses to examine the effectiveness of using Bar Model by converting the HOTS problem solving questions to visual by drawing bar models. This is a quasi-experimental research and the effectiveness of this method will be analysed through the findings from pre-test and post-test. The results of this study were analysed by using SPSS version 22 for pre-test and post-test results. The results indicated that during post-test, students who used Bar Model Method showed significant improvement in their HOTS level (p=0.000) compared to the control group (p =0.435) which indicates that there is no difference in the pre and post-test.
