Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Every parent wants the best for their children. They want their children to finish their studies. Some families can only afford to eat one meal a day.

METHODS

To find out the effects of 4Ps program onthe academic performance of pupils in Math, the researchers requested the First and Second Quarter Math Rating of the pupils recorded in their F-137/Rating Sheet for sy. 2018-2019 to Grade 6 class advisers. Interview is also done. The Mixed-method research designed was used and t-test techniques, Frequency, percentages and SD to determine the significant difference in the MPS of pupils in Mathematics in the 1st and 2nd Quarter.

RESULTS

Based from the interview conducted the following are the most common answer of the pupils; Able to submit all the projects/ requirements on time; Developed the study habit; Regularly attended the class and participate actively in class discussions. The 4Ps program has a positive effect on the performance of the pupils in Math.

DISCUSSIONS

There was a significant difference in the academic performance in Mathematics of 4Ps grantees s.y 2018-2019; 4Ps grantees developed a study habit which ensued to active participation in classroom discussion, on time submission of projects /requirements and were able to attend the class regularly also raised the awareness of the school personnel and the recipients of the program's strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
