Developing a remediation tool to address learning gaps in numbers and number sense

This study aimed to develop a remedial learning tool called the Learner's Packet for Grade 7 Mathematics, specifically to support students who have difficulty with Numbers and Number Sense. Using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation), the researchers identified learning gaps and created a structured material to address these weaknesses. The tool was reviewed by experts and tested using a pretest-posttest method, showing that most students improved from Low Mastery to Average Mastery in six out of seven skill areas. Although the results did not meet the Department of Education’s official passing rate, students found the tool to be useful, engaging, and suitable for their needs. The study recommends improving the tool’s usability, developing similar materials for other math topics, and conducting long-term research to support better learning outcomes.
