Abstract:
This study described the differences between using traditional and block model approaches in teaching mathematics to 85 Grade 5 learners in San Felipe Elementary School (West), San Felipe, Zambales, during the School Year 2018-2019 geared towards the improvement of mathematics performance. The researcher made use of descriptive-correlational and experimental methods. Different perceptions were noted between the use of traditional and block model approaches. The traditional approach recorded an increment of 1.81, while the block model approach recorded an increment of 1.90. Significant correlations were noted in the profile of the respondents and the usage of traditional and block model approaches. There was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the traditional and block model approaches. Hence, the enhancement of the understanding of mathematics lessons was crafted to improve the mathematics performance of the learners.
