Introduction
Mathematics is one of the most important subjects even in history and the
has been at the forefront of every civilized society. It definitely does matter as an
essential part of acting a lot of support and knowledge in our daily lives, in the
curriculum.
Many students nowadays are suffering in solving mathematical equations,
analyzing problems and generating ideas and formulas. These are the common
issues that students face when it comes to Mathematics. Suffering from poor
during class time or tests. Thus, some students are suffering from this case due

to obtain from the junior high school curriculum has affected the way the students

Data Collection
This gathering was obtained around the Holy Child College of Davao Jacinto
in Mathematics. The study was fully participated and gathers through recording
we could prove that the study was not been manipulated and also we uses
questioners to evaluate what is the view of the respondents about the particular
topic . The sampling or method that our colleagues have been agreed in
advantage to use this kind of method to collect the data that our study needed.
The sampling that we use is an important process or way to collect the full
study.
There is only seven (7) participants who volunteer to be our respondents, and to
obtain or have available time to communicate them is only every 4o’clock in the
afternoon which is their dismissal. And also in gaining some of our data to
support our study we visit Google to collect theories and sources to support our
research.

To reassure the conformability of this study, the researchers kindly approach the
respondents and introduced them to our study. During the IDI and FGD, the
respondents were attentive to answer the questions.
how can you make sure that the results of your research is beneficial to others?
The results of the research is beneficial to others, the researcher ensures that
the study will be success and efficient so that it will be knowledgeable to the
readers. One of our objective is to make sure that this study will be beneficial to
all the readers.
how did you make an assurance that you are all dependable with the participants
