teaching strategies, mathematical word problem

This study employed the quantitative-descriptive research design in the assessment of the teaching strategies of Mathematics teachers in solving mathematical word problems. The quantitative-descriptive research design was used to present how the teachers describe the effectiveness of the strategies in teaching word problem solving in Mathematics. It was also employed to look into the problems being met by teachers in teaching word problem solving skills and how serious are they. The quantitative-descriptive research design was also utilized to propose developmental activities illustrating the various teaching strategies in solving mathematical word problems to enhance the effectiveness of Mathematics teachers. This study was conducted in Camachiles National High School during the school year 2023-2024. The respondents were 14 Mathematics teachers who provided information to answer the sub-problems raised in the study. Weighted mean was employed in the study to treat the data statistically. Summary of Findings: 1.0 Effectiveness of the Strategies in Teaching Word Problem Solving in Mathematics Teaching strategies being used by the Mathematics teachers in the solution of mathematical word problems which were described to be “very effective” were Make a Table and Write a Number Sequence with weighted means of 3.69 and 4.00, respectively. Teaching strategies which were described to be “moderately effective” were as follows: Find a Pattern (WM=3.35); Work Backwards (WM=3.26); Guess and Check (WM=3.15); Draw a Picture (WM=3.45); and Make a List (WM=3.38). The overall weighted mean was 3.47 for a descriptive equivalent of “moderately effective.” 2.0 Problems Being Met by Teachers in Teaching Word Problem Solving Skills “Very serious” problems being met by the Mathematics teachers are student difficulties in comprehension and student difficulties in decoding with weighted means of 3.62 and 3.81, respectively. “Moderately serious” problems being met by the Mathematics teachers are need for application of concepts and skills related to real-life situations (WM=3.27), students’ over-dependency on calculators and other tools (WM=2.92), high expectations of test results from students (WM=2.75), integration of technology (WM=3.49), limited resources/materials (WM=2.75), and limited time for fun activities (WM=3.08). The overall weighted mean was 2.87 for descriptive equivalent of “moderately serious.” 3.0 Proposed Developmental Activities The outputs of the study are developmental activities illustrating the various teaching strategies in solving mathematical word problems to enhance the effectiveness of Mathematics teachers. Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn: 1. Generally, the teaching of word problems in Mathematics through various strategies is moderately effective which indicates that the ability of Mathematics teachers’ to teach important problem solving skills to students still need improvement. 2. The very serious problems met by the Mathematics teachers in the implementation of teaching strategies are student difficulties in comprehension and decoding. 3. There are various developmental activities for the Mathematics teachers to focus to improve the mathematical skills of students. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, the following recommendations were offered: 1. The developmental activities illustrating the various teaching strategies in solving mathematical word problems should be evaluated and further revisions or improvement be made for their effective implementation. 2. More instructional materials using the various teaching strategies in solving mathematical word problems should be developed. 3. Other researchers may conduct a similar study on a wider scope to validate the findings of the study.
