Project Title: (REAFFORM)- Remedial and Enhancement Activities in Four

Fundamental Operation thru Reinforcement Mechanism

Context and Rationale:

This school year 2022-2023, is a proactive year for every learners

and teachers to cope up the lesson that have been slowed down since the
occurrence of pandemic. As the school year started, the school conducted
the pre-test on numeracy from Grades 2 to 6. The test items where
compost of the four fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. The test result had shown that there are lots
of learners are belong to non-numerate. The result is alarming and needs
a thorough attention for Mathematics is essential for it plays a vital role in
the daily living, thus, it is a skill that must be develop at the young age of
the learners.
The Department of Education, Region VIII, developed an initiative,
the RM NO. 827, s. 2022, Enhanced – Regional Unified Numeracy Test (E-
RUNT) to determine the mastery of the learners on the four fundamental
operations. It classifies learners into three level, Highly Numerates (HN),
Moderately Numerates (MN), and Non-numerates (NN) which, HN are
learners who got a perfect score, MN learners who got 1 or more mistakes
in the four sub-test. They need enrichment, and lastly NN, those learners
who got zero (0) in any four sub-tests. They need the remediation.
The results of the Regional Unified Numeracy Test (RUNT) shall be
the bases of the school initiated intervention and it shall focus on those
learners who fall in moderately numerates and non-numerates in Sta. Cruz
Elementary School.
The school, conducted the RUNT last October 27, 2022 to all Grade
2 to 6 learners. Out of 192 learners who were tested, only 9 learners were
classified as HN or about 4.59%, 108 learners were MN or 56.25%, and 79
learners were NN or about 41.15%. Thus, the school come up with a
School Initiated Intervention that will focus these non-numerates and
moderately numerates learners.

Statement of the Problem

This study tried to determine the factors that affect high rate of non-
numerates among the students of Sta. Cruz Elementary School and how
will the REAFFORM project augment this result.

Specifically, this study aimed to answer the following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of the students- respondents in terms

of
a. age?
b. sex?
c. daily allowance?
2. What is the impact of non-numerates students to their studies?
3. Is there a significant effect thus the REAFFORM project to enhance
the skills of the non-numerates?
4. Is there a significant effect of game-based instruction towards non-
numerates students?
5. Is there a significant relationship between students’ skills and
achievements to their daily allowance?

Statement of Hypothesis
H1 – There is a connection between students’ performance towards
their demographic profile.
H2 – There is a significant effect of the REAFFORM project to
enhance the non-numerates students.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/ BACKGROUND:

The school aims for every learner’s development. Since non-
numerates are classified as those who get zero in any of the four
fundamental operations and moderately numerates are those who get or
more mistakes in any of the four fundamental operations, the school
formulated an intervention which is “Remedial and Enhancement
Activities in Four Fundamental Operation thru Reinforcement Mechanism
(REAFFORM) to zero out the non-numerates of Sta. Cruz Elementary
School.
Project REAFFORM is simply taken from the word reform which is to
amend or improve by change of form. The school will reform conventional
way of teaching math through engaging and enjoying games that help
learners to feel at ease and not being pressured.

The school carefully plan for this project, identify its goals, its
recipients, its methods and strategies and the desired outcomes. Through
numeracy action cell, the objectives of this project is being discussed and
brainstorming of methods and strategies is collected and come up to a
solution of giving a remedial and enhancement activities in four
fundamental operations through modified games as the reinforcement
mechanism in the teaching process. The instructions will circulate and
focus on the instructional games to give learners the chance to enjoy
while learning, because the school believes that learning while enjoying is
a way of giving learners a meaningful learning.

OBJECTIVES:

The general objectives of this project are ensuring those non-

numerates learners become numerates by learning the four fundamentals
operation, second, learners will develop intrinsic motivation in learning
numbers.

This objectives divided into specific goals. First, it will aims to give
more attention to those slow learners, second, it aims to encourage

learners to do mathematical operation with utmost confidence, third it
aims to lesser the pressure of dealing numbers through modified games
instructions, fourth it aims to produce quality remediation materials to
provide varied activities, fifth, aims to capacitate teachers to adapt new
strategies and techniques and lastly to promote holistic learning
development with collaboration of the learners, teachers, teachers,
parents, and other stakeholders.

PROCESS IMPLEMENTATION

To attain the objectives, the school will conduct of Regional Unified

numeracy test (Pre-test) and submit to the School Head for data
interpretation. Then, a parent –teacher conference will be done to for an
information drive with regards to the intervention. Next, a remedial for
those identified non-numerates learners to be facilitated by the
teachers/implementer with the use of game based instructional materials
that help minimize the pressure in teaching-learning mathematics. While
for those moderately numerate, a trained highly numerate learners will
serve as a learning partners but also used instructional games. This
remedial and enhancement activity will introduce different kinds of game
based instruction, it depends on the learners capacity and learning style
that best suite them. At the same time while learning, it will gives learners
to enjoy and learn new games and skills. For the whole duration of this
project, teachers will conduct with monthly assessment that is parallel to
the item they answered during pre-test to measure the learners’ ability in
solving the four fundamental operations. Teachers who handled
mathematics will monitor the progress of each recipient learners, at the
same time the school head monitor herself in conducting the numeracy
level of assessment as her basis of monitoring the non-numerates
learners. Lastly, a giving of award for those who have mastered the four
fundamental operations.

then the teachers will
present the number
and let the learners
identify it. The
learners who have
reach first or who have
identify first will move
forward until the last
line and declare as the
winner.

Grade 1 Cooperative Learning- Teach me how to Fish

This title is from
the maxim “Give them
a fish for a day and
teach them how to fish
to live for a life time”.
In this way the
teachers of Grade 1
teaches the learners
the fundamental
operations using
modified games. It
uses different games
such as bingo games,
fishing games. The
group with more
correct answer will be
the winner.

Grade 2 Peer -Coaching Counters Attack

This technique
uses different kinds of
counters that aid the
learners in learning
the fundamental
operations. Through
colourful and tangible
counters, the learners
are able to visualize
numbers and the

 operations.

Grade 3 Peer-coaching, Mine Craft

Teamwork The concept of
mine craft is just like a
the mobile games, it
teaches learners to
build their own ways
on how to solve the
problem by using
modified games such
as mazes, jigsaw
puzzle and other kinds
of puzzle that depict
number and
operations.

Grade 4 Peer Coaching F4 Rangers

F4 rangers stand
for four fundamentals
operations. This
concept the teachers
as the mastermind in
delivering the lessons
will give the learning
tasks and his rangers
are the fast learners to
help the teachers
conduct the peer-
share tutorials. It uses
different ranger’s
game, such as
hopscotch, fishing
games, mazes, sinking
boat and many more.

Grade 5 Teamwork, Numbers in a Bowl

cooperative learning Numbers in a
bowl is a concept that
aims to teach learners
numeracy through
modified games.

 Basically materials
that going to be use
are come from the
bowl. It uses games
such as trashketball,
cabbage ball, raffle
tickets and many
more.
Grade 6 Cooperative learning, Ship on the board
peer-coaching This strategy
focus on mastering the
four fundamental
operations. Teachers
as the captain of the
ships teach the
concept of four
fundamental operation
with utmost care just
like passengers in a
ship. While the highly
numerates serves as
the crew help carried
out the tasks. By
operating the ship
learners who are non-
numerates or the
passengers will play
different games based
on their learning level.
This will introduce
games such as
damath, raffle tickets,
bingo and mazes and
boat is sinking.

IMPACT TO LEARNING
The school believe that learning while having fun will leave a

footprints to the lives of the learners. With close follow up and

assessment, learners will able to master the four fundamental operation.
Through the facilitation and assistance from the teachers and parents
respectively, with the intensive reinforcement, the non-numerates
learners in the school will zero out.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION

1. To ensure effectiveness on the implementation of the project there will
be close monitoring as well as providing technical assistance to ascertain
significant learning gains among the identified learners, a weekly and
quarter assessment will perform.
2. Gather feedbacks from the implementers as basis for improvement and
adjustment to meet the ultimate goal of the project.
3. This also seek PTA participations in ways that they will evaluate
learners progress and whatever the results are, they can help
campaigning parents in involvement in teaching the leaners in numeracy.
4. Awarding and giving of recognition to learners who are promoted to
each level.
