Application of Math Productivity Software in a System of Linear Equations and Inequalities and Students’ Graphing Skills in Mathematics 8

This study investigated the impact of Mathematics Productivity Software (Software X and Software Y) on the graphing skills of Grade 8 students at Kapingkong National High School in the Philippines during the school year 2024-2025. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with three groups: a control group receiving conventional instruction and two experimental groups utilizing Software X (GeoGebra) and Software Y (Desmos), respectively. The findings revealed that while all groups exhibited comparable graphing skills at the beginning of the study, significant improvements were observed in both experimental groups after the intervention. Students using Software X demonstrated the most substantial gains in their graphing abilities, followed by students using Software Y. The control group showed progress, but it lagged behind the experimental groups. These results suggest that Mathematics Productivity Software can effectively enhance students' graphing skills, particularly Software X, which outperformed both Software Y and traditional instruction methods. The study highlights the potential of technology-based learning tools to improve student performance in mathematics and emphasizes the need for educators to explore and integrate such tools into their teaching practices.
