Mathematical Investigations Skills of Senior High School Students

The main purpose of this study is to find out the level readiness of the public senior high school students in conducting mathematical investigation along general mathematics and probability and statistics, likewise, performance level and its difficulties. This research used descriptive method in order to gather factual and relevant data as it also used teacher made test and questionnaire checklist for finding the performance level and the level of readiness of the senior high school students as the main data-gathering instrument. The data collected were statistically treated using weighted mean, frequency count, percentage-test. The findings revealed that out of 71 Senior High School Students belongs to beginning in general mathematics and 86 SHS did not meet the expectation in statistics and probability. They were belongs to low performance. Out of 142 Senior High School Students only 5 of them got the highest performance level in general mathematics, 10 were belongs to the proficient, 13 were approaching to proficient. Moreover, 45 belong to developing and 71 belong to beginning. And 3 among 142 SHS students performed advanced, 9 performed proficient and 12 performed approaching proficient. Furthermore, 32 of the students performed developing and 86 performed beginning. The result of the statistics and probability was low performance level. The investigation skills of Senior high school in general mathematics along formulation of questions with an overall weighted mean of 3.48, under testing with overall WM of 3.42, under refinement of questions with overall WM of 3.47, under proving with overall WM of 2.28 and for communicating skills with overall WM of 2.95. The investigation skills of Senior high school in statistics and Probability along formulation of questions with an overall weighted mean of 2.16, under testing with overall WM of 2.46, under refinement of questions with overall WM of 3.41, under proving with overall WM of 2.34 and for communicating skills
