Improving Mathematical Skills through Intermixing Easy and Challenging Computation Problems Strategy

Edward Finez | Published: June 05, 2026

Abstract: The performance of Pangapisan Integrated School in the National AchievementrnTest (NAT) in Grade Six has been very low. In the past five years, the schools MeanrnPercentage Score (MPS) in Mathematics was within the range of 40 %- to 60 %. Basedrnon the NAT results in Grade Six for SY 2014-2015, with an MPS of 57.28%. PangapisanrnIntegrated School was placed at the tails of the distribution curve in Mathematics. Thisrnrnshowed that the school has low Mathematics numeracy. The purpose of this quasi-rnexperimental research is to determine if using Intermixing Easy and ChallengingrnrnComputation Problems Strategy (IECCPS) in teaching Mathematics would help 30rnGrade Six pupils increase their Mathematical skills in solving fractions and raise testrnrnscores in Mathematics. The intervention measurement tools used were the pre and post-rntest for data collection. Moreover, tools for analysis were the average weighed mean andrnrnpaired T-test and illustrated through tables and graphs with further explanations. Thernresearch found pupils to be more engaged in the learning process and raised test scoresrnas a result of the strategy introduced in the classroom. This indicated that the IECCPSrnimproved pupil’s performance in solving fractions.

Effects of Explicit Instruction in Selected Lessons in Grade Five Science

Jonathan Salazar | Published: June 05, 2026

Abstract: Science is considered one of the most challenging subjects in class. This isrnevident by the results of the periodic tests where learners did not meet the passing rate.rnThis study investigated the effect of explicit instruction plus in selected lessons of Sciencernsubject of Grade Five pupils of Mangin-Tebeng Elementary School during the school yearrn2017-2018. All 75 Grade Five students were involved in the study. The experimentalrndesign was used with a validated teacher-made test as an instrument. The statistical toolsrnused were mean and t-test. The performance of the students in Science had improvedrnboth in controlled and experimental groups with a mean of 13.74 and 17.63 respectivelyrnafter the intervention was implemented. Meanwhile, there is no significant differencernbetween the pretest scores of the controlled and experimental groups as indicated by thernp-value of .887 at 5% level of significance. Further, there is a significant differencernbetween the post-test scores of the two groups (p=.000) at 5% level of significance. Thernresults implied that explicit instruction plus improved the performance of the learners inrnScience. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers who teach the same subject usernexplicit instruction because learners positively responded to it.
