F. DESCRIPTION of the PROGRAM: Master the basic operations in mathematics.

II. BACKGROUND / SITUATION ANALYSIS

Mathematics is the language of all sciences and technology. There are no sciences without mathematics.
To learn any field of science or technology, one must, first, learn mathematics. Functional radios, televisions,
buildings, bridges, cars, airplanes, powerful medicines used to cure diseases, and many other objects attained
with the help of mathematics (Tegmark: 2013).

Mathematics is a deductive science, a science that starts from some known fundamental facts to the
unknown. What one can learn and understand will be the basis for what they can learn and accept in the future.
Therefore, the learning process in mathematics is a “step-by-step” process. It takes a very long period to study
to become proficient.

In the elementary curriculum, Mathematics is being given considerable attention because of its poor
performance. The pupils find mathematics as an ill-timed subject. In many cases, mathematics education is one
of the most inconvenient disciplines to teach. Mathematics classes, particularly at higher levels, are difficult to
understand, with insufficient instructional materials, fast-cased lessons, and inappropriate strategies for teaching
Mathematics. These, among others, are the reasons for low grades in the subject.

III. RATIONALE:

The fundamental operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers,
decimals, and fractions are generally involved in the learning competencies in elementary school. These
mathematics skills at the primary level need to be enhanced. It is vital to master the basic skills before moving
on to more advanced mathematics concepts. They need basic mathematics operations to do secondary and
tertiary courses.  

Research said that “Basic skills are necessary to advance in math (Students must learn arithmetic so
that they can move on to more demanding mathematics—algebra, geometry, calculus)” “Basic skills predict
adult earnings. A growing body of research has documented that the skills and knowledge students learn in
school is correlated with success later in life.”

According to Section 4, RA 10533, also known as Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, Basic
education shall be delivered in languages understood by the learners as the language plays a strategic role in
shaping the formative years of learners. It is a state policy to ensure that the enhanced basic education meets the
demand for quality teachers and school leaders. For that reason, Bagumbayan Elementary School administered
an intervention program dubbed “MENTAL Math”— which stands for Mind Exercise using a Non-Traditional
Approach in Learning Mathematics. It is an intervention program that aims to educate learners in three ways.
The first of these ways is by introducing to pupils that Mathematics is easy. Second, fun exercises in
Mathematics can carry out mentally, and lastly, enhancing Mathematics basic skills (arithmetic) can educate
learners in life skills. 

IV. OBJECTIVES:

1. To increase at least 20%-30% pupils’ performance in Mathematics;

2. To develop learners’ Mathematical skills;
3. To practice honesty, discipline, and responsibility; and,
4. To collaborate with parents, teachers, and pupils towards the achievement of one specific goal.

V. PARTICIPANTS / BENEFICIARIES:

The target participants of this project will be the Grades I-VI pupils of Bagumbayan Elementary School
who got an average of 79 and below during the first quarter of School Year 2021-2022.
