Abstract

This study determined if the video instructional material addressed the

common errors of Grade 5 pupils. It looked into how the performance of the
pupils was improved by the Butterfly method. It focused on the errors committed
by the Grade 5 pupils in adding dissimilar fractions. This study was conducted
using the one-shot case study design. A pretest was conducted to determine
the common errors of Grade 5 pupils in adding dissimilar fractions. A video
instructional material using butterfly method was prepared to address the
common errors of Grade 5 pupils in adding dissimilar fractions. A post-test was
conducted. This study used t-probability of difference between means to
determine the performance of pupils before and after the intervention. The
common errors of grade 5 pupils in adding dissimilar fractions are lack of
understanding of the concept of adding dissimilar fractions, difficulty in finding
the LCD, and misconception about the use of fraction bar. The video
instructional material using butterfly method was used to address the common
errors of pupils. There is a significant difference between the means of the
pretest and post-test. Thus the butterfly method was effective in addressing the
common errors of pupils in adding dissimilar fraction.
