TEACHING FRACTIONS THROUGH FRACZONES AMONG GRADE 5 PUPILS

Education

Pupils are having difficulty learning mathematics, specifically fractions. With this problem, this quasi-experimental research aimed to determine the effectiveness of FracZones in teaching fractions among Grade 5 students. The data was gathered through researcher-made pre-test and post-test questionnaires, which were responded to by Grade 5 pupils of Cateel Central Elementary School in the academic year 2022-2023. The pre-tests of the control and experimental groups did not meet expectations, which means that both groups had the same level of knowledge in terms of fractions prior to the intervention. The post-test scores between the control and experimental groups show improvement; however, they still did not meet expectations, which means that despite the improvement in the score of the experimental group after the intervention, there is still no significant difference in their scores. The pre-test and post-test results of the participants show a significant difference, which implies that the pupils' performance in the experimental group shows improvement better than the control group. Thus, FracZones could be used in teaching fractions to fifth-grade pupils.
