Abstract

This study emphasizes on enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills among learners and eventually, bring light to connections between Mathematics and all sorts of field, concepts, and ideas in support to the implementation of LRP in numeracy specifically decrease low numerates from 418 to 100 and the non-numerates from 364 to 0. The researcher utilized descriptive method of research using the census or total enumeration composing of seven hundred eighty-two (782) low and non- numerate pupils of Pangil Elementarty School as the target participants. After the implementation of the Project PINT it was found out that there is a significant result on the pupils performance in problem solving, from 418 low numerates and 364 non-numerates who became the target respondents shown changes upon given post-test. Only 385 out of 418 low numerates and 150 out of 364 non-numerates from grade 1 to grade 6. This connotes that the strategy employed by the researcher is effective. The study reaches its target goal to enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills among learners and eventually, bring light to connections between Mathematics and all sorts of field, concepts, and ideas in support to the implementation of LRP in numeracy. Specifically, to decrease low numerates from 418 to 100 and the non-numerates from 364 to 0. Project PINT helped improve the pupils weaknesses and difficulties in problem solving. There are lots of factors that might contribute to pupils weaknesses in this aspect, but it is through the initiative effort of the researcher, the school head with the help of the teachers who collaboratively work to solve and address this problem by using a lot of strategy to improve pupils learning outcomes. Therefore, it is clear that once a teacher utilizes an interesting strategy and tool there is an increase on the pupils performance. Pupils are becoming active and well-motivated if they had given a lot of interesting activities that wonders their curiosity in the classroom making them an active learners especially if technology is used as a strategy. They need to experience new things everyday to hold their interest.
