Reflection
Mathematics remains as one of the disciplines young Filipinos are encountering difficulties with. According to the study, 6.87% of the 318 teachers have an average competency in teaching Mathematics while 84.33% have low in readiness in teaching and are very incompetent. In spearheading MTAP DepEd Saturday Mathematics Programs and to the pupils involvement to it, two things were learned and reflected by the researcher. First, even that this Program is quite difficult, we should still develop positive attitude towards it. As we are motivated loving this, pupils were also motivated. Secondly, pupils should be motivated, more engaged in learning in a way that stresses application and other reasoning skills toward the subject. Upon researching, the researcher reviewed the results, with these he learned to value planning and assessing.
