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.
