Abstract:
This action research aims to determine the effectiveness of MATHSANAY Numeracy Project in bridging the numeracy gap and skills focusing on four fundamental operations in mathematics namely addition, subtraction, multiplication and division in among 49 identified non-numerate Grade 7 students of Bagbag National High School District of Rosario
The study used the purposive sampling procedure. Numeracy Test was given to identify the non-numerates from grade 7 entrants as subject of intervention activities which is one hour face-face tutorial session every 5th day of the week and supported practice drill cards in daily lesson. It was conducted during the whole period of first quarter using Dependent T-test of two sample means.
The pretest and posttest results were found “Highly Significant” where in the computed p-value is 0.00.with T value of -10.55. Moreover, the student-participants gained a notable improvement in their numeracy skills which moved its category from non-numerate group to moderately numerate group .Hence the utilization of MATHSANAY project is effective intervention in bridging the numeracy gap and skills which translated into a higher learning outcome of students and achievement in Mathematics.
