One highly important ability for overcoming challenges in today's world is Higher Order Thinking talent (HOTS), particularly in the field of mathematics. Therefore, the research conducted in the mathematics subject can improve by utilizing infusion Higher Order Thinking Skill (iHOTS) modules. A planning framework has been created using the four core competencies and overall competencies found in the revised Bloom's Taxonomy, which are also the main building blocks found in HOTS. Analyze, apply, evaluate, and create comprise the HOTS construct. A sample of the research involved 120 first-grade pupils from four different schools in the state of Johor. Data is gathered utilizing research decision tests pre- and post-testing before and after using the module for group treatment in this quasi-experimental study, whereas the conventional method for group control. The data analysis results indicate that action learning and facilitation (L&F), which is supported by the iHOTS module, can already raise students' dominance in mathematics across the board for all four HOTS levels. The research's conclusions indicate a substantial difference between the group control and the group treatment when it comes to the growth of the students' HOTS in mathematics while using the iHOTS technique for level apply, analyze, evaluate, create, as well as whole. To sum up, research like this can help everyone-the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MoE), the school administration, parents, mathematics teachers, and even students-by providing evidence of its efficacy in empowering HOTS mathematics in Malaysia through the enactment of relevant policies and applications. © 2024 IEEE.
