This study primarily aimed to determine the effectiveness of distance learning modality on the Grade 7 students’ performance in Mathematics. The findings of the study was the bases for a proposed intervention plan. The study utilized complete enumeration in identifying the respondents of the study. This study used the Quasi Experimental method of research to determine the distance learning modality’s effectiveness to the performance of the Grade 7 students in Mathematics. The test of difference between the scores in the pretest and posttest of the Grade 7 students in Mathematics. The result shows a little difference in the test percentage of the post-test and the pretest considering that the pretest result is 17.23 while in the post-test is 18.72. It further shows having the little increase resulted to a computed p value which is equal to 1.23 is greater than the level of significance of 0.05, the hypothesis which state that there is no significant difference in the pretest and posttest performance of the Grade 7 students before and after integrating distance learning modality is rejected. The result implies that though there is a little difference in the pretest and post-test result before and after implementing the distance learning modality, it still does not guarantee its effectiveness to increase the performance of the Grade 7 students in Mathematics. There are still possibilities that the usual way of acquiring the knowledge and skills of the Grade 7 students in the delivery of the Most essential learning competencies in Mathematics are still effective considering the result of the pretest that majority of the students have gained good level of performance. Thus, the distance learning modality is not really effective compared to that of the traditional way of delivering the competencies and or teaching mathematics. Moreover still the two strategies could still bring or increase the performance in the Grade 7 students particularly in Mathematics subject.
