Enhancing Pupils’ Performance in Mathematics through The Use of Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Approach

One of the main issues discussed in the field of mathematics education is how students are able to possess mathematical abilities at every level of education. This study examined the effectiveness of using concrete-pictorial-abstract approach to enhance pupils’ performance in Mathematics. A classroom-based action research design was used in this study. Participants of the study were the grade 3 pupils in Ozamiz City Central School for the school year 2022-2023. It was participated by 37 grade 3 pupils through a purposive sampling technique. A classroom-based action research design was utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of using concrete-pictorial-abstract approach and their effects on the pupils’ performance in Mathematics. It utilized lesson plan, concrete materials, pictures, and interview questions as research instruments. The researcher computed descriptive statistics to determine the mean and standard deviations of the level of performance before and after the intervention. At the same time, qualitative analysis of the interview data was conducted using Hype research. Results showed that using concrete-pictorial-abstract approach as an intervention improved outcomes in the measured variable. It is recommended that educators integrate the CPA approach into their teaching practices to enhance mathematical learning outcomes.
