Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the numeracy skills and attitudes towards mathematics of grade 7 students and their relationship to academic performance in mathematics. The study employed a correlational research design involving 210 Grade 7 students selected through a multistage random sampling technique. Data were collected using a numeracy skills test, an attitude towards mathematics questionnaire, and students' mathematics performance in SY 2023-2024. The results showed that most students had nearly proficient numeracy skills, a very favorable attitude towards mathematics, and a satisfactory mathematics performance. A significant positive correlation was found between numeracy skills and mathematics performance, but no significant relation was found between attitude toward mathematics and mathematics performance. Further analysis revealed that numeracy skills and attitude toward mathematics significantly predict performance. Based on these findings, an intervention program was developed to enhance the numeracy skills and improve the attitude towards mathematics of grade 7 students, ultimately improving their performance in the subject. The intervention program includes targeted instruction, hands-on activities, and strategies to foster a positive mindset toward mathematics.
