Research topic: Mastery of Four Fundamental Operations Research title: Effects

of Modular Learning on the Mastery of Four Fundamental Operations in Grade

7 Students

Background of the Study

Even the most complex mathematical theories can use addition, subtraction,

multiplication, and division. As a result, one of the keys to improving math

comprehension is mastering them. All facets of mathematics start with an

understanding of how numbers operate. As they advance through the grades,

students learn about various kinds of figures and how they respond to operations.

For them to move along in future math studies as well as in daily life, it's critical for

grade 7 students to feel confident applying the four operations. For instance, the

development of the following concepts, such as additional arithmetical operations,

calculations resulting from measurements, and algebra, depends on the development

of a strong knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

This study sought to assess the effect of modular learning on students'

mastery on the four fundamental operations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, face-

to-face interaction between students and teachers has been suspended within our

school. This pandemic has paved the way for the prompt introduction of modular

learning to guarantee educational continuity. The Philippines is currently in the

process of adjusting to the new normal form of education, and the success of this

process depends on educators' ongoing innovations and the active participation of

other stakeholders. The key purpose of this study is to determine the difficulties faced

and the results of the teaching of mathematical operations in Dulangan National High

School's application of modular learning.

 The primary difficulties that the students have had to deal with this kind of

learning are self-study, a bad internet connection, and not having enough time to

complete all of the modules because of the numerous activities, distractions, and lack

of focus. Additionally, parents often answer instructional modules rather than

students themselves. That is the reality that exists in homes. In order to encourage

honesty and ensure the effectiveness of learning, parents should refrain from

answering to the modules; instead, they should only offer guidance and assistance.

The students are the ones who should individually respond to the modules, as is

ideal and intended.

According to the National Economic and Development Authority, in a

classroom setting, teachers may handle their math lessons very well because there

is no longer a need to compress their topics to suit the modules, which is why face-

to-face learning is preferable to online learning because "in-person communications

make our brains happy and satisfied." For students, attending class with a real

teacher is more engaging than reading a ton of modules. By connecting with and

learning from one another in a classroom environment, students can develop more

and feel more at ease.

Consider all the things you couldn't accomplish if you didn't know how to add,

subtract, multiply, and divide. The four fundamental operations are significant

because of this, which is also why this study was created.
