This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using Bar Model in Mathematics problem solving questions involving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTs). This study involved 37 pupils from Year 4 class at SK Bukit Bandaraya. This study focusses on to examine the effectiveness using Bar Model by converting the HOTs problem solving questions to visual by drawing bar model. This is a quasi-experimental research and the effectiveness of this method will be analyse through the findings from pre-test and post-test. Discussion of the findings of this study is based on pupil’s per-test and post-test. The results of this study analysed by using SPSS version 22 for pre-test and post-test results. The results of the pre-test and post-test show differences in average mean scores of 28.51 to 42.46. This finding shows that the Bar Model method was effective for the pupils that can improve pupils understanding in order to answer HOTS problem solving questions.
