The perpetual challenge of uncertain problem-solving skills among local education administrators is underscored by data from a public science and technology high school despite being a performing public science high school, students have been still struggling to enhance their critical thinking skills, posing an unceasing issue. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of Polya's four-step method on the Grade 9 students' performance in mathematics. Utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest design, the researcher aimed to determine which aspects of Polya's method improved students' mathematics performance. The data analysis indicated a significant improvement in students' problem-solving performance using Polya’s four-step method from pre-test to post-test. This study reaffirms that Polya’s method helps students develop a structured way of thinking and solving problems, which is fundamental for their mathematical development.
