Several studies have examined numeracy and mathematics performance among elementary school students in the Philippines. A 2022 study found that many Grade 6 students in Cabanatuan, Philippines had low numeracy levels and were in need of intervention programs. Another study found that using oral and written assessment tools and educational games was an effective way to teach mathematics, especially for lower-performing students. Multiple factors influence student performance in mathematics, including teacher instruction, student attitudes and study habits, classroom management, and parental support. Efforts are needed to improve performance among both low-achieving and high-achieving students to increase overall numeracy.

A recent study conducted by Tanghal and Tanghal (2022) shown that the

numeracy level of Grade 6 pupils in the Division of Cabanatuan, using the pre-test of

Numeracy Test, belongs to non-numerates. It indicates that numerous pupils are in need

of intervention or programs to develop their skills and as well as improve their numeracy

level.

Another study made by Alcantara (2019) have implied that the use of Oral and

Written Numeracy Assessment Tools is a must for teachers, as it is an effective

approach in teaching Mathematics. He also added that it is even more effective with the

usage of E-Games that are suited to the abilities and needs of the students,

accompanied by activities within their interests and experiences in a comfortable and

stress-free environment.

Effort is needed to be focused on the learners who have lower performance in

order to increase numeracy overall. On the other hand, those pupils who have good

performance are encouraged to extend the knowledge in mathematics that they already

possess that would lead to improved numeracy. Therefore, great effort is a must on both

low and high performers to be able to increase numeracy overall (Lindell 2013).

One more study conducted by Alcantara (2022) revealed that the overall efficacy

of mathematics teachers in elementary greatly depends on their active participation in

research, further studies, gains in trainings, and experience. He also further explained

that reading comprehension, parental support, and study habit are the most rampant

issues faced by the elementary teachers who are teaching mathematics.

The poor achievement of learners in the subject mathematics are mainly caused

by four factors: instructional (teacher), individual (student), evaluation and classroom

management (Andaya 2014). She also concluded that there is a need for Mathematics

teachers to revisit their instructional programs and suit plans to the levels of the learners.
According to Suan (2014), student factors like attitudes, study habits, and

interests toward mathematics and as well as time management directly affect the

performance of pupils in the mentioned subject. This is due to the fact that some

students view mathematics as a difficult, boring subject and it has no relevance to their

life experiences. Thus, despite their actual capability that can be shown in other

subjects, they do still have a low performance because of their attitude towards

mathematics.
