Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Bar Model Fraction Kit. To enhance the validity of this instrument, four experts had reviewed the instrument. The Cohen kappa value is 0.80. This indicates a “Good” extent of agreement. There were 15 students involved in the pilot test. The students used the Bar Model Fraction Kit to answer the test items. From the analysis, it was found that the Cronbach alpha coefficient value is 0.765. This shows that the Bar Model Fraction Kit has acceptable reliability
