Proposed Digitized Activities in Teaching MAthematics Iv in Lemery Pilot Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Digital literacy in the era of technology plays a vital role in defining a child's ability to succeed both in school and throughout life. It is may be a key to teaching in order to provide the skills, knowledge and understanding for young learners to enter the workplace, further education and higher education. In line with this, Department of Education Batangas initiated a program about utilizing and crafting numeracy tools and e-games for diverse learners. The researcher proposes activities in teaching Mathematics for teachers to be better and more effective inside the classroom.

METHODS

This research involved the 3 Grade IV Mathematics teachers of Lemery Pilot Elementary School who are now under the K to 12 Curriculum as respondents of the study. Quantitative research method was used in this study. It emphasized objective measurements and statistical data collected through polls, questionnaires and surveys.

RESULTS

Based on the result, instructional materials were the highest among the factors as it sustained a weighted mean of 4.13. It showed to be the main factor that affected the performance levels of pupils in Mathematics. The different factors of teaching Mathematics in Grade IV pupils were observed but the most prevalent among these factors was the instructional materials or instructions.

DISCUSSIONS

Based from the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: The performance level in Mathematics of Grade IV pupils was not so good; there are several factors affecting the performance level of Grade IV pupils encountered by the teachers in teaching Mathematics: reading comprehension ability, classroom interaction, classroom management and instructional materials; the most prevalent factor that affects the performance of pupils encountered by the teachers in teaching Mathematics IV was the use of instructional materials which had contributed a lot that made the pupils perform low during the three quarter assessment. Digitized activities were proposed to improve the performance level in Mathematics.
