MATHILDA: Website Application Learning System for better advancement in Mathematics

Abstract

All children are born with an ability to appreciate numerosity. The approximate number system does not support precise counting, but allows for comparison judgements of “more than” or “less than.” In school, this ability is being enhanced by teaching them any other lessons aboutMathematics. Most of the learners find this subject hard and uninteresting. Conducting the research will aid the student to advance in the subject through systematic, interactive and interesting learning with technology. The researchers programmed the website containing the lessons using the DepEd’s budgeted course guide. Programming language and methods are also implied to attain a valuable and attention-grabbing page. The researchers asked 45 students per grade level to answer a diagnostic test before and after using the website. The researchers used the non-numerical data to give descriptions and applications stating that because of graphics, organised data and technology-related features of the product, the respondents were able to have advancement and better understanding. Numerical data states that the result with MATHILDA is 6.87 higher than the traditional learning system. Having factors like; the inclusion of technology, organised data and even the site’s instructiveness thru quizzes and interactions, the project can attain positive results. Therefore, there is a potential in using MATHILDA as an alternative learning system in Mathematics.
