—— The Concrete Pictorial Abstract (CPA) model as a teaching strategy in General Mathematics simply helps students visualize abstract problems and make them more accessible and to ensure that students develop a tangible understanding of the math concepts and skills. The respondents of the study were Grade 11 students under the HUMMS strands, Division of Pangasinan II. Documentary analysis was utilized to interpret the results in the diagnostic and summative tests in General Mathematics during the school year 2022-2023. The test consisted of 50 number of items classified based on concepts, process and metacognition. After a systematic and in-depth analysis of the data gathered, the findings are: (1) The students’ level of performance in the diagnostic test is fair while a very good performance in the summative test; (2) The level of mathematical ability of Grade 11 students showed that there is an improvement in the summative test using the CPA model than in the diagnostic test as to concepts, process and metacognition. Hence, the students obtained a higher score. (3) There is a significant difference between the students’ performance on the diagnostic and summative tests. Therefore, the students’ assessment performance was improved after exposure to the CPA model but some students needs effort to improve on the area of metacognition in both diagnostic and summative test. Hence, a learning development plan as an intervention is highly recommended for adoption to improved students’ mathematical abilities.
