Upskilling Grade 5 Learners’ Math Competencies A Strategy Based Approach

This research determined the effectiveness of strategy based teaching in enhancing the mastery of Quarter 2 Mathematics competencies among Grade 5 learners at Cabancalan II Elementary School, Schools Division of Mandaue City, during the School Year 2025–2026. Specifically, it sought to describe the demographic profiles of teachers and learners assess the status of the implementation of strategy based Mathematics teaching determine the level of learners' mathematics competency examine the significant relationship between the two variables and identify issues and challenges encountered in implementation. The study utilized a descriptive correlational research design, involving 4 Grade 5 Mathematics teachers and 50 learners as respondents. Data were gathered using validated survey questionnaires and summative test results, analyzed through weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's r correlation. Findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a high level of implementation of strategy based teaching overall WM = 3.79 , particularly in aligning instructional approaches with learning competencies. Learners, on the other hand, showed a high level of mathematics performance overall WM = 3.57 , with divisibility rated highest and division of fractions lowest. Statistical analysis showed a significant positive relationship r = 0.4012, p = 0.0175 between the degree of teaching implementation and learners' performance. Teachers, however, identified challenges such as large class sizes, limited resources, and time constraints. The study concluded that effective strategy based teaching significantly improves learners' mathematical achievement. A Strategy Based Mathematics Instructional Framework and Enrichment Activity Guide was developed as the primary output to strengthen instructional practices and promote sustained learner improvement.
