Abstract
The aim of this action research is to assess the numeracy skills, particularly the effectiveness of Project Pagbasa kag Pagsuma in bridging pandemic-induced learning gaps for 200 Grade 7 students at Florentino Galang Sr. National High School. The researchers used secondary data based on the pre-test results of the Enhanced Regional Numeracy Test (ERUNT) before implementing Project Pagbasa kag Pagsuma to address the learning gaps caused by the pandemic. The results indicate that the study participants obtained an average pretest score of 26.62 with a standard deviation of 4.960, which, according to ERUNT guidelines, is interpreted as non-numerate. Following the intervention, there was a shift in the numeracy level from non-numerate to numerate. The study participants achieved an average posttest score of 34.72 with a standard deviation of 3.663, which, based on ERUNT guidelines, is interpreted as numerate. The significant increase in test scores by 8.10 reflects the impact of the researchers' intervention on the students' numeracy level. Therefore, the researchers conducted successful assessments to identify and address learning gaps, specifically in the students' numeracy level.
