ABSTRACT

—— This study aimed to determine the Effectiveness of daily skip counting to test performance of the Grade 4 pupils in Mathematics. The findings of the study served as a basis of a proposed intervention plan. This study used the Quasi- Experimental method of research to determine the significant difference of the aforementioned variables. The researcher utilized Universal Sampling in identifying the respondents of the study. The test of difference between the Scores in the Pre-test and Post Test of Grade 4-5 pupils in Math before and after the integration of skip counting strategy in the delivery of the most essential learning competencies in teaching Mathematics to the identified pupils. Based on the findings of the study there were a positive result brought about by the skip counting strategy when it comes to the performance of Grade 4-5 pupils particularly the Mathematics subject considering that in the pre-test the respondents is producing good level of performance and resulted to the posttest performance lower in value and has computed T value which is greater than the critical value and based from the results given the hypothesis which stated that there is no significant difference between the pretest and posttest performance of the grade 4-5 pupils before and after the integration of the skip counting strategy is rejected which means that the intervention is significantly effective inn improving the performance of Grade 4-5 pupils. The results further explains that the Grade 4-5 pupils experiencing great impact on the type of strategy applied to them. The strategy used by the teacher guided the learners to improve their performance in Mathematics. The result of this study further explained that integrating such strategy like skip counting, it will improve the technique for learning multiplication facts, deepen their understanding on number patterns, improves logical thinking, builds confidence and enhances their sense of numbers and quantity.
