Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics offers students with learning opportunities to build on their awareness of events and actions to recognize changes in pattern, quantity, and space in their intermediate environment and in the wider world. Activity-based approach makes learning interesting, and it will be helpful for the students to remember content for a long time as every student is involved in the teaching-learning process especially addition and subtraction with regrouping.

METHODS

Statistical tools were applied in the study. These are frequency to determine the number of responses on the test given; percentage to determine the part of the number of respondents from the whole; and ranking to determine the rank of the pupil's responses on the test given. The respondents of the study were 20 grade one pupils, and no sampling method was used in the study.

RESULTS

Group activities had different features that pupils were able to participate and manipulate. Majority of the pupils have a high performance in using group activity in teaching addition with regrouping and in teaching subtraction with regrouping, too.

DISCUSSIONS

The use of group activity in teaching addition and subtraction with regrouping provides opportunities for the pupils and may be applied to enhance the lesson. It can be used by other teachers to help them manipulate materials and strategies as they teach these lessons.
