Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine the level of readiness in Mathematics of First Year High School students of Cluster 6 Tugbok Secondary Schools, Division of Davao City, Philippines. The test contained Mathematics learning competencies namely: Whole Numbers, Fractions, Decimals, Percentage, Geometry, Measurement and Graphs. It used descriptive quantitative method of research where means and standard deviations were computed to determine the level of mathematical readiness. Respondents were chosen through random sampling technique. Mean ratings based on the three achievement tests administered were very low for Grade 6, moderate for Grade 5 and high for Grade 4. Results showed that the respondents are prepared for Grade 5 level. Based on the t-test results on the significant difference in terms of mathematical readiness when analyzed by sex, it was established that female students were more prepared than male students. The results suggest an intervention program to be formulated in order to improve the level of Mathematical readiness of freshman students.
