Activity II.
Read the paragraph below and identify the four components in establishing the research gap.
Many forms of instruction, both traditional and alternative, have been introduced to develop
students' mathematical-logical skills. One approach that continues to be widely used in Asia is
Singapore Math. Though many studies have attempted to substantiate its effectiveness (see Jaciw,
Hegseth & Toby, 2015; Powell, 2014), there remains a dearth of empirical studies that have
investigated the effectiveness of Singapore Math in the Philippines. As Corpuz (2015) argued, there is
a need to conduct more studies on approaches that will help Filipino students become equipped with
the necessary mathematical skills which are on a par with their ASIAN counterparts. Following that
suggestion, this study investigated the effects of Singapore Math on developing the mathematical
logical skills of Filipino students in selected public high schools in the Philippines.
The current state of the field:
The current state of the field is that finding the right method as form of teaching in developing
student’s mathematical- logical skills. Singapore's Ministry of Education decided to take the research
results of best practices from the West and developed a new way of teaching mathematics after its
low performance on international leaderboards in the early 1980s.
The current and conventional practices in the field:
The current and conventional practices in the field is that Singapore mathematics has produced
a world-class level of performance for many years. the use of Singapore Math in the Philippines as a
form of instruction.
The research gap:
The research gap is that math textbooks based on the Singapore math approach today are
used in maby of schools across the UK and have been widely adopted by the Department of
Education's Maths Hubs and the effectivity of Singapore Math as method to students in developing
their mathematical- logical skills.

The present study's contribution to addressing the research gap:

 The present study’s influence to addressing the research gap is that to conduct more lessons
to show the efficiency of Singapore Math.
Activity III.
Read and answer the following questions below. Your answers will be rated using the attached rubric.
1. What is the focus of your topic? (Remember, you have to choose a topic that appeals
to your interest and narrow it down according to discipline or geographical area.)

Pollution in General Santos City.

2: Write down the following based on your chosen topic focus:

Ideas = Air Pollution, Filter, What plant can I use to lessen air pollution.

Research Question = How does Ceiba pentandra(Kapok) can lessen the air pollution?

Focused Research Question = What part of Ceiba pentandra(Kapok) silk cotton can filter the air?

3.Write your working title based on the topic you chose for your research study.
FILTERING ACTIVITY OF Ceiba pentandra (Kapok) SILK COTTON AS ALTERNATIVE WAY OF
REDUCING HYDROCARBON IN EXHAUST OF MOTORCYCLE VEHICLE PIPE.
