II. Project Summary

The Polishing the Learners’ Unrefined Scores in Numeracy (PLUS) program

focuses solely on the numerates of Northville 15 Integrated School. It is a program that
provides 30-minute lessons that occur on Fridays for up to 30 sessions. An important aspect
of this program is that it can gradually enhance the numeracy level of the learners..

III. Project Background /Rationale

One of the key abilities that a student must possess and develop is numeracy. Results
from 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) indicates that among 79
participating countries and economies, the Philippines ranked the second-lowest in
Mathematics.

Numeracy is defined as the ability to acquire, use, interpret, and communicate

mathematical information and ideas in order to engage in and handle the mathematical
demands of various settings. To be numerate means to be able to confidently and successfully
use numbers to handle life's daily challenges.

Individuals need numeracy to acquire logical thinking and reasoning strategies in their
daily actions. For tasks such as cooking, reading receipts, reading directions, and even
playing sports, we need numeracy to solve issues and make sense of numbers, time, patterns,
and forms.

Numeracy helps people gain the fundamental skills necessary to achieve success in
life. There is a huge national strategy to improve numeracy. The Northville 15 Integrated
School supports this cause through this Project PLUS which aims to lessen, if not eliminate,
the number of non-numerates in Junior High School to five percent (5%).

IV. Project Objectives

The Polishing the Learners’ Unrefined Scores in Numeracy (PLUS)) program

offers the learners intervention coursework to prepare them for regular and more advanced
concepts that requires the fundamental operations. It also aims the following:

1. To determine the numeracy level of the Junior high school learners.

2. To reduce the number of non-numerates to at most 5% of the initial number.

V. Project Methodology

The Project Zero Non-Numerates (ZNN) Pre-Test and Posttest are used to assess the
numeracy level of 1420 learners. The learners were subject to the Pre-Test given Project ZNN
program and were classified as Non-numerates, Nearly numerates, and Numerates.

This project will be participated by the non-numerates from the Junior High School of
Northville 15 Integrated School. The teachers will conduct 5-minute drills daily and enrichment
activities every Friday of the week.

1. Five (5) minutes is allotted before the start of each class for the program. It focuses
on the four fundamental operations in math namely: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and
Division. The teacher may use window cards or problems as tools for learning. A time limit is
given to accomplish each problem set.

2
2. An intervention program is scheduled thirty (30) minutes every Friday of the week except for the
last Friday of the month. The AM teachers and students will conduct the intervention from 1:00-
1:30pm while the PM teachers and students will conduct their session from 11:30-12:00pm. The
non-numerates are advised to attend these sessions. The mathematics teachers give intervention
activities which aims to lessen the number of non-numerates.

3. An assessment is done every month which is scheduled on the last Friday of the month. This
intends to determine the results of numeracy drills and intervention to the level of the students.
There are 2 sessions- the AM shift and PM shift. The AM shift assessment is held on a designated
Friday, 1:00-1:30 pm, while the PM shift session is held on the same day, from 11:30-12:00 pm.

 VI. Monitoring and Evaluation

The following shall have been monitored and evaluated by the Math
teachers, the Project leader and the School Head.

1. Ensure that all updated copies of the Numeracy materials and drills
have been properly printed and distributed prior to the dates of
activities
2. The identification of students most in need of interventions
3. The conduct of the school’s strategic reflection based on the pre and
posttest results
4. Setting up of Schools’ definite targets
5. Evaluation of implementation and impact
