The purpose of this study was to compare algebraic approach and the Singapore model drawing approach to solve verbal algebraic problems. An achievement test was conducted in the algebraic equation unit and the teacher's guide to demonstrate how the model drawing approach was used to solve verbal algebraic issues. The study population was selected from middle school students in Wadi Al-Dawasir governorate in Saudi Arabia, where a random sample of 82 students was selected, divided into two groups, the control group 40 students: they were studied The unit of algebraic equations using algebraic method, the experimental group 42 Students: they were studied the unit of algebraic equations using the Singapore drawing model. The results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference at (α <0.05) between the mean of the control and experimental groups in the post-application of the achievement test in the unit of algebraic equations. Thus, the researcher concluded that the Singapore drawing model had a clear effect on raising students' level in the solution of algebraic equations. The study also indicated that low achievers in learning of mathematics also increased their motivation to solve equations by drawing Model, as other students. (Published Abstract)
