Abstract:

This study assessed the level of mathematical skills along conceptual and procedural understanding of Grade-11 students at Burgos NHS during the school year 2020-2021. It determined the significant factors that may contribute to a better level of attainment of the learning competencies and mathematical performance of students in the formulation of the enrichment activities based of the least mastered competencies in General Mathematics. The level of mathematical skills along conceptual and procedural understanding were satisfactory. Data revealed that the profile of the respondents and their level of mathematics skills along conceptual understanding showed significant relationship along sex and number of apps used. Students struggle to solve issues containing logarithmic functions, equations, and inequalities, it was discovered. The created general mathematics enrichment activity may be used as instructional material to improve the students’ conceptual and procedural understanding. The following suggestions are made based on the study’s findings: Students should be continuously given meaningful and pertinent activities to improve their mastery of various General Mathematics competencies; Mathematics teachers should offer interactive class discussions, group projects, and technology-assisted lectures that will help both high/low-performing students grasp conceptual and procedural mathematics skills; Teachers should maximize using technological tools for students to arouse their interest and master most of the learning competencies.
