The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Dorayaki Module on achievement, interest and mathematics understanding on fraction topic among Year Four pupils. The research design employed in this study is a mixed method. Two main phases in this study are Design and Development Research (DDR) and the qualitative approach. By the end of this study, Dorayaki Module has been developed. The results show that there is a significant difference in mean achievement scores in the post-test between the control (M=33.17, SD=10.969, N=60) and treatment group (M=50.33, SD=13.17, N=60), p<0.002. The interest of pupils towards Fraction topic is also high (M=4.1) after Dorayaki Module has been implemented. Besides, all the ten respondents achieved four out of eight layers of understanding after the intervention. In conclusion, the Dorayaki Module needs to be implemented among all pupils who are facing difficulty in problem solving for Fraction topic. This study brings implications to Ministry of Education Malaysia, teacher trainees, and Year Four mathematics teachers.
