The study evaluates the effectiveness of collaborative learning strategies in improving the performance of grade 6 learners in Mathematics. quasi-experimental research design utilizing the pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative learning strategies in improving the performance of grade 6 learners in Mathematics. Albuera North Central School, Albuera North District, Leyte Division and the twenty-nine (29) Grade 6 learners identified as struggling in Math for the school year 2024-2025 were the subjects of the study. Research instruments included a researcher-made Math test aligned with the 1st quarter Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs), administered before and after the implementation of collaborative learning strategies. Moreover, lesson plans were developed which shows collaborative learning strategies in teaching Math. The researcher will formulate activities of which the learners will organize themselves in small groups to answer the problems posed in the lesson. After the group work, the teacher will encourage the members of the group to present their outputs showing the solution on how they arrive at the correct answer. Further, the teacher will encourage the learners to speak and discuss the process of solving the problems. This framework will be incorporated in the lesson plans formulated. Based on the data presented, it was revealed a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test performances of grade 6 learners in Math before and after the integration of collaborative learning strategies in teaching and learning. The dramatic improvement in scores indicates that collaborative learning not only enhances students’ understanding of mathematical concepts but also fosters engagement and motivation in the learning process. Hence, educators are encouraged to continue implementing and refining collaborative learning strategies to further enhance student learning in Math and potentially in other subject areas as well.
