Abstract

The Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is a remedial tool designed to help students learn competency-based abilities they could not develop during regular classroom instruction. This study aimed to assess the performance of Grade 7 students in solving problems involving operations on integers as the basis for developing a Strategic Intervention Material. Through a descriptive research design, the data from two hundred eighty-four (284) Grade 7 students who are typically adolescents, females, and belonging to low-income families were assessed using an assessment test and were analyzed and interpreted. The result shows that students performed well in addition, multiplication, and division of integers but have shown poor performance in subtraction of integers. Their performance in addition and subtraction of integers differs significantly from their age variables, but not in multiplication and division. In addition, their performance in the four integer operations does not vary considerably between their sex variable but differs between their family monthly income variable. Based on the assessment result, the developed Strategic Intervention Material focused on the rules of subtracting integers, evaluated as highly appealing, practical, applicable, meaningful, and useful by adequate experts based on three features: acceptability, applicability, and usefulness. Based on these conclusions, extra or remedial sessions and flashcards or drills can be conducted to enhance their performance in subtracting integers. The developed strategic intervention material is highly recommended for implementation to check its effectiveness with Grade 7 students.
