ABSTRACT

Regional Memorandum No. 279, series 2019 entitled “Institutionalization of the Conduct of the Unified Numeracy Test” and Regional Memorandum No. 280, series 2021 which is the Reiteration of Regional Memorandum No. 279, s. 2019 Re: Institutionalization of the Conduct of the Unified Numeracy Test. Both are requiring the schools in the region to conduct pre and post numeracy tests to all students enrolled in the current school year to determine base line data for the conduct of intervention program. this assessment tools are designed to achieve critical thinking and problem solving which are needed to emphasize in the teaching of Mathematics of which the Department of Education aims to develop learners who are numerates and who can apply numeracy skills for various purposes. The result of the pre-test shows that most of the Grade 9 students are identified non-numerates. To address this problem, the researcher conducted this quasi-experimental research to evaluate the effectiveness of remedial sessions, as an intervention in improving the numeracy level of these identified non-numerates. After a series of activities, practice tests during remedial sessions, the study revealed a significant difference in the tests conducted before and after the conduct of remedial sessions. Thus, remedial sessions if conducting religiously and with the participation, cooperation and attention of the students, their performance will really improve.
