Effectiveness on the Implementation of Mathusay Programs at Bagong Nayon II Elementary School: Basis for Intervention Program

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the Mathusay Programs implemented at Bagong Nayon II Elementary School during the 2024–2025 academic year. It focused on assessing students' performance through pre-test and post-test evaluations, examining proficiency levels, and exploring the correlation between program scores and Mathematics subject performance. The findings guided the development of an intervention program to enhance the Mathusay Programs. Pre-test results revealed students were categorized into four groups: Non-Numerate, Emergent, Average Numerate, and Above Average Numerate. Lower grades (I–III) had higher percentages of non-numerate learners (6.33%) compared to upper grades (3.70%), suggesting younger students faced more challenges in basic numeracy. Emergent learners represented 34.83% in the lower grades and 22.55% in the upper grades, indicating skill improvement over time. Average Numerate students comprised the majority, with significant growth in Above Average Numerate learners from 21.12% in lower grades to 40.32% in upper grades. Post-test data showed a similar trend, with decreased non-numerate learners (5.00% in lower grades and 1.57% in upper grades) and increased proficiency among Above Average Numerate learners (22.55% to 41.70%). A significant difference between pre-test and post-test results highlighted the program's impact. Proficiency levels were generally "Proficient" in Grades 1–4 (75.35%–79.15%) but declined to "Nearly Proficient" in Grades 5–6 (65.63%–69.55%), suggesting a need for additional support. However, no significant correlation was found between Mathusay scores and overall Mathematics proficiency. Recommendations include targeted interventions to sustain and enhance student performance across grade levels.
