Improving the Basic Mathematical Skills in Adding and Subtracting Two-Digit Numbers through 2-Digit Spinners Technique

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Some learners have come to believe over time that they are just not good at math. This type of attitude can result in learners failing to even try to learn the basic mathematical operations. Resolving this concern can be difficult, but pulling learners aside individually to reassure them can help pupils overcome the math block. Two-digit spinner technique might help math teachers boost learner's confidence. As the Department of Education, continuously provides our learners with learning materials, the researcher would like to offer other research-based materials that can address problems in mathematics.

METHODS

The researcher used an experimental design with the form of a true experimental design using an intact group. In this study, the researcher will make use of pretest-posttest group design to answer the specific problem in the study.

RESULTS

In the present class, the researcher observed the needs for enhancement in adding and subtracting two-digit numbers. Furthermore, the researcher intended to use the two-digit spinner technique to improve the performance of the learners in the mathematical process. The use of these two-digit numbers in addition and subtraction with regrouping activities will have the learners practice their skills. There are 2 different spinners partner games. All students will need is a pencil and paper to solve the mathematical equation.

DISCUSSIONS

It is shown that the pretest has a mean of 4.40 and a posttest with 9.03. It is also observed that the median scores along the used of the two-digit spinner technique's pretest and posttest are near the mean of the scores from the pretest and posttest. The standard deviation of the technique result 0.73 is greater than the pretest 1.06. It is shown in the study that there is a significant relationship between the post-test result and the two-digit spinner technique that rejected the null hypothesis. This means that the two-digit Spinner technique affects the post-test scores of the learners.
