What the paper says
The study explored various teaching methods to enhance the multiplication skills of the students and their basic mathematics proficiency. An entire class of fifth graders (41 students) who obtained the lowest mean respectively in their numeracy profile and pre-test were the participants of the study. A validated researcher-made test (pre-test and post-test) in mathematics assessed the academic performance of the pupils before and after the implementation of various strategies in teaching and learning multiplication skills. Data collection also included interviews with the students. Results show that the pupils significantly improved (p<.05 = .00) their multiplication skills and basic mathematics proficiency. Based on the students’ account, the intervention of various strategies in teaching mathematics skills and proficiency was effective, and the students were motivated and were engaged in learning. Reflections on the results of the action research suggest that better learning experiences and student achievement may be subsidiary to mastering the basic skills, concepts and procedural proficiency which may be attained using various teaching-learning strategies simultaneously.
