Abstract:
The Reciprocal Group (RG) Sheets allows students to exchange ideas, ask questions freely, clarify relevant information, explain solutions in meaningful ways and express feeling about their learning making the instruction dynamic, interesting and meaningful. This study focused on the effectiveness of the RG Sheets in improving the skill level of students in solving worded problems involving Normal Distribution. It utilized the validated researcher-made test. Tests such as t-test dependent and t-test independent were utilized as tools for analysis. It found out that before the intervention, the skill level of the students in both groups did not differ significantly and had a very low remark. However, after the intervention, the students in the experimental group improved drastically to an outstanding skill level while students in the controlled group shifted to a fairly satisfactory skill level. It concluded that the integration of the RG Sheets is effective in improving the skill level of the students. It recommended that teachers must begin to adopt the utilization of the RG Sheets as an alternative and viable instructional method in teaching mathematics specifically lesson on Normal Distributions.
