TriQuBeas A Remediation to Mathematics Problem of Grade Three Pupils in Tapia Elementary School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This action research is intended to remediate the problem of low performing and non-numerate learners in Mathematics. Most of the grade three pupils' attitudes toward Mathematics in daily lessons revealed that they need special attention. They were identified mostly as non-numerates. For this situation, the proponents decided to implement the Trio Quiz Bee (TriQuBe) to improve the performance of the pupils and at the same time change the negative attitudes into a positive one towards the subject.

METHODS

This research employed the survey and the experimental method. It also provided original data on Mathematics pretest, first, and second quarterly tests.

RESULTS

The results show there is a great positive effect of TriQuBe with rewards in the learners' performance and attitude. The activity has enhanced the performance of the pupils in Mathematics. Math problems in grade three were resolved and 100% class participation was met through this active learning approach. It motivated them well to study and learn with enthusiasm in Mathematics classes. Their performance and behavior in this learning area thoroughly changed and contributed a better understanding of the lessons resulted in numeracy.

DISCUSSIONS

This research was planned and implemented for the enhancement of performance and participation of the learners in Mathematics class. This study provides intervention activities that can enhance the confidence, enthusiasm, participation, ability, and interest of the pupils in teaching and learning Mathematics. It remediated immediately the problems in Mathematics as they occur to make teaching strategies be effective to the learners. As recommended, integration of Trio Quiz Bee and giving rewards as an alternative in teaching is an innovation that must be supported and shared with colleagues.
