The aim of this research is to find the effectiveness of Circular Measure Aero Physics and Mechanic (SM-AEROMECH) module and conventional approach in students’ achievement for circular measure topic in mathematics. The students’ achievement in circular measure topic is compared by gender and the interaction effect between groups and gender was studied. The instrument used in this research is Circular Measure Test (CMT). A quasi-experimental research design with non-equivalent control group pre-test and post-test was used. The participants of this research are Malaysian upper secondary four science stream students. This research involved a total of 64 students, 31 of whom were males and 33 were females. The two-way ANOVA analysis showed that the effectiveness of group on the post CMT mean score was not significant. It concluded that the level of students’ achievement for circular measure topic is same in SM-AEROMECH module or conventional approach. Hence, the achievement in circular measure topic on gender is not significant. Male and female students’ achievement in circular measure topic is the same. The analysis also showed that the interaction effect between group and gender is not significant either as the mean group’s influence on the mean score CMT is not caused by the gender and vice versa.
