The Teaching of Division of Large Numbers through Visual Discussion among Grade Six Pupils in Banaybanay Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

When teaching young children to divide, you may like to try getting a small group together and share out a number of objects evenly between them. This will ensure that the students get a clear understanding of the concept of division before moving on to the written process of short and long division. This study aims to proposed supplementary materials in teaching of division of large numbers through visual discussion among Grade VI pupils of Banaybanay Elementary School.

METHODS

The study applied descriptive quantitative method of research. One of the purposes of the descriptive quantitative method of measurement is to accurately measure the progress of the target learners. In addition, the researchers will use survey in prints, visual discussion, and test outputs to easily assess the outcomes of the learners. Survey in prints serves as the diagnostic test to measure the learning level of the target learners in terms of dividing large numbers. Discussion is used to review the target learners in terms of dividing large numbers. Test outputs is the final assessment tool to measure the progress of the target learners.

In addition, the researchers will use survey in prints, visual discussion and test outputs to easily assess the outcomes of the learners. Survey in prints serves as the diagnostic test to measure the learning level of the target learners in terms of dividing large numbers.

DISCUSSIONS

The results show that in teaching division of large numbers, visual discussion was the most effective strategy. Using supplementary materials like play and games, mathematical puzzles, visual aids like videos really caught the attention of pupils during the discussion. Therefore, the teacher should provide more interesting activities related to the materials mentioned above to maintain the alertness and activeness of the pupils.
