Ibim and Operations of Fractions of Grade IV-Juniper Pupils of Nagtipunan Central School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Solving mathematical problems is one of the least mastered competencies in Grade IV based on the 2016 National Achievement Test (NAT) results and as manifested by low level of understanding, low scores in quizzes and tests, lack of interest, and poor interaction during class discussion specifically when solving mathematical problems on the operations of fractions. IBIM can be used to enhance instruction.

METHODS

Descriptive-quantitative research.

RESULTS

Results indicate that the pupils have low understanding on Fractions before the implementation of the IBIM. The students got an achievement level of moving towards mastery in their posttest. The Eta-squared statistics signifies large effect thus, the IBIM contributed a significantly large effect on the ability of learners in solving mathematical equations.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the results and findings of this study, the following conclusions were drawn:

1.) The score of the respondents before the implementation of IBIM was high after the implementation of IBIM;

2.) There was significant difference in the scores of the respondents before and after the implementation of IBIM;

3.) The effect of IBIM to the ability of respondents in solving mathematical problems was large.
