Participants of the study
The participants of this study are grade 9 level students of Liceo de Cagayan
University Junior High School Department. This grade level is consists of six (6)
sections for this academic year 2019-2020, namely, Aristotle, Curie, Dalton, Einstein,
Galileo, and Gauss. The current total population of the grade 9 level is 213 students.
To identify the section who have a lot of students that are having troubles in
mathematics, the researchers ask a specific grade 9 mathematics teacher of Liceo
de Cagayan University Junior High School. The math teacher recommends Grade 9
– Aristotle which consists of 36 students.
Respondents and Sampling procedure
The researchers of this research study chose to have a Purposive sampling
procedure because the participants cannot be selected at random. Instead,
mathematics teacher who can identify the performance of the students in
mathematics will rely on the given section.
Research Instruments
The questionnaire to be given to the selected participants is a multiple-choice
type questionnaire that has 25 items in total that based on math skills in sense
making, reasoning, problem-solving, and communication. It is adapted from Study
Mode LCC (2020), Singh V. (2019), Online Test Centre (2005) and has been
checked by one of the mathematics teachers in 9th grade. This test is 'adapted'
because some parts are not included when the math teacher checked the test
questionnaire. Test 1 consists of 6 items about Sense Making in Math, test 2
consists of 7 items about reasoning in Math, test 3 consists of 6 items about
Problem Solving in Math, test 4 consists of 6 items about Communication in Math. It
