The Effectiveness of Flying X on Students' Achievement in Grade 9 Mathematics
Joecel S. Rubinos
In this study, it determined the effectiveness of Flying X method on themathematics achievement of grade 9 students of Datu Andiam Manza National High School (DAMNHS). It was conducted as remediation to improve the computational skills of students in addition and subtraction of unlike fractions prior to the topic of Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the Square. The subjects are the selected Grade 9 students of DAMNHS during School Year 2017-2018. The study adopted the pre-experimental design. The pretest-posttest was adapted from http://www.proquest.com.consist of 10 items each. After the pretest, the subjects were given the Flying X method with difficulties in adding and subtracting unlike fractions, followed by the posttest. Data gathered and analyzed using the statistical test of mean, mean percentage and t-test. Results showed that before the Flying X was introduced, the proficiency level of selected Grade 9 students was described as beginning, posttest results showed that the proficiency level of the subjects was approaching proficiency. Conclusion made was that Flying X method was effective. It significantly improved the skills of the subject in computation and interest in dealing with fractions, particularly in addition and subtraction. It is recommended that Flying X method be utilized as a strategy of teaching addition and subtraction of unlike fractions in mathematics and other subjects.
