The purpose of this study is to determine the effect reciprocal approach on grade 7 students mathematical skills at Pedro Guevara Memorial National High School, Santa Cruz, Laguna S.Y. 2022 – 2023.                 Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: (1) What is the level of reciprocal approach in terms of predicting, clarifying, solving, and summarizing? (2) What is the level of students mathematical skills before and after using reciprocal approach in terms of critical thinking, arithmetic, and problem solving? (3) Is there a significant difference on the students mathematical skills before and after using reciprocal approach? (4) Does reciprocal approach have a significant effect on the students mathematical skills after using reciprocal approach?                 The respondents consisting of 121 Grade 7 students which were purposively selected. The instrument used in this study was a validated self-made questionnaire consisting of 5 questions per variable. A parallel pre-test and post-test were also administered to find out if the reciprocal approach enhances students mathematical skills as determined by their average score.                 Results of the study showed that the level of students assessment with regards to reciprocal approach was very high. Likewise, students mathematical skills in all areas under consideration got a fair remark before using reciprocal approach while a very satisfactory remark was obtained after using it. The former serves as the baseline data to find out if there was an improvement in the mathematical skills of the respondents as revealed by their overall scores.                 Further, the difference in pre-test and post-test was found significant at 5% level. With the results obtained, the following is hereby recommended for consideration: (1) DepEd officials, Administrators of public schools including the Principal and Head Teachers, are encouraged to provide materials and to conduct seminars that will develop their teachers ability in different teaching strategies since it enhances the students mathematical skills. (2) Teacher may administer pre-test to identify students prior knowledge and to focus on the topics that need to be addressed also evaluate how much they have learned. (3) Teacher can apply new teaching approach like reciprocal to arouse the interest of the students. (4) Since it was found out that the use of reciprocal approach had a significant effect on the students mathematical skills, the researcher suggested that the teacher may use reciprocal approach for the daily classroom instruction. (5) Since the study was only confined to three sections, it is suggested that the future researcher may conduct related study with bigger population to acquire more accurate results.
