 INTRODUCTION

 Mathematical Ability Test

Frustration level

Project Stratricks MulNum

3
 ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS
What are the results of the Grade 7 students
mathematical ability test during enrolment
school year 2017-2018?
What are the pre-test results of the Grade 7
students before the implementation of the
program in multiplying numbers?
What are Post test results of the Grade 7
students after the implementation of the
program in multiplying numbers?

4
 ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Is there a significant difference on the
performance level in the implementation of
the program between the pre-test and the
post test results?
What are the problems that the researcher
encountered in the implementation of the
program?
What recommendations should be submitted
in helping the students to have a higher
mathematical ability in multiplying numbers?

5
 METHODOLOGY
 Research Design

A descriptive method
utilizing pre-test and
post-test was conducted.

6
 METHODOLOGY
Sampling
- Purposive Sampling
- 167 students out of 540 students or 31%
- Frustration level
SCORE MATHEMATICAL
LEVEL
8 – 10 Mastery
5–7 Instructional
0-4 Frustration

 METHODOLOGY
 STATISTICAL TREATMENT
Mean
SD
T-test for correlated means

 INNOVATION, INTERVENTION AND STRATEGY

Project Stratricks MulNum is a one (1)

month program of remediation or
intervention containing some tricks and
techniques using flashcards, popsicle stick,
hand tricks and mind ability in multiplying
numbers. Some of the tricks are viewed
using videos which was played repeatedly
and explained by the researchers.

 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The result of pre-test and post
test administered disclosed that
the students marked
improvement in their
mathematical ability in
multiplying numbers after the
implementation of the program.

 RECOMMENDATION
 Adopt the program in the
formal classroom settings and
the teachers may utilize and
modify the strategies and tricks
depending on the learners’
need.
