Problem Solving Involving Fraction Using Four Fundamental Operation (F4F): An Intervention Material in Mathematics 5

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The study aimed to address the least-learned competency in Math V specifically in solving word problems involving fraction using the four fundamental operations among the Grade 5 pupils of Maitim Elementary School. This study further proved the impact of the utilization of the module as an intervention material in improving the pupils' academic performance in Mathematics.

METHODS

This study utilized the descriptive method which is mainly focused on pre-test and post-test as an indicator of the improvement of academic performance of pupils in Mathematics. A 20-item test was utilized as determinants in improving the pupils' academic performance in Math V as a result of the teacher-made intervention material.

RESULTS

There was a significant increase in the performance of the pupils during the post-test as compared to the results of the pre-test. With a percentage Mean of 34% in the number of pupils under Above the Mean, it can be gleaned that 54% significant increase was noted, which can be attributed to the utilization of the teacher-made intervention material.

DISCUSSIONS

The utilization of teacher-made intervention material is a vital factor in improving the pupils' academic performance. This is evident with the significant increase in the Weighted Mean of the Total number of pupils tested. Otherwise, other factors which affect the learning competency of the learners which are not cited in this study are subject for a recommendation.
