This study aimed to test the effect of flow charts on math achievement and thinking skills of third year students. A quasi -experimental design of unequal groups was used. A quasi -experimental quantitative approach of unequal groups was used in this study. The selection of study participants was done by group random sampling to involve 60 third year students in a national school in Petaling District, Selangor. Respondents were divided into two groups, namely 30 students in the treatment group and 30 students in the control group. The study used two main instruments, namely the mathematical achievement test and the high -level thinking skills test. Data were analysed using t-test to see the mean difference. The findings showed that there were significant differences of post-test between the control group and the treatment group. The findings show that the flow chart method has a positive effect on the mathematical achievement test and the critical thinking skills test. In conclusion, the flow chart method can be used as an alternative method for students and teachers to solve sentence -length mathematical problem-solving questions. It is hoped that this study can be used as a reference and give implications to teachers' teaching methods. It is also hoped that this will support the efforts of the Ministry of Education Malaysia in achieving the aspirations of students.
