Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study was conducted to determine the impact of Project TIMES (Teaching Immensely Multiplication: Empowering Students) to the Performance in Multiplication of Grade Three students. This research provides Grade Three teachers of San Juan West District with an idea of the most effective way of practicing multiplication facts for students. Various instructional methods and techniques were considered including in classroom instruction and computer-assisted instruction to improve automaticity in the Grade Three students.

METHODS

The researcher used the descriptive and quantitative method of gathering data. Descriptive method because the instructional supervision result was used as the basis of the study and quantitative because of the outcome of the Pretest results in Grade Three were used. The results were then analyzed and interpreted.

RESULTS

The Pretest results administered to all Grade levels of San Juan West District reveals that Grade Three performs the least in terms of multiplication. The researcher used games, songs, chants, manipulative activities, and technology in response to direct and repetitive teaching strategies while direct and repetitive teaching was directed into the routine schedule as before the class starts, during lunch break and before the class ends. Finally, the researcher treats the pupil's refusal to master the Table of Multiplication with an accomplished signature card to monitor the pupil's sustainability to master the table of multiplication even at home. Their parent's signature authenticates the reliability of the pupil's pronouncement that even at home, they practice the skill. Home visitation is also a significant contributor to the last factor for it boosts parents support their children's progress. Their awareness that teachers are dedicated to monitoring their guidance to their children benefited all the struggling math pupils. This shows that this research did have a positive effect on the acquisition of multiplication facts for the Grade Three students of San Juan West District.

DISCUSSIONS

From the data gathered, tested and carefully examined and analyzed the researcher concludes that project TIMES is effective on Grade Three -students and has a positive and remarkable impact on the grade mentioned above on the time that the study was conducted. This is supported by the 61% increase in the Posttest Result after its implementation. The researcher recommends that this study be the basis of other interventions for the same purpose.
