ABSTRACT
Introduction: Numeracy is a fundamental skill essential for academic success and real-world problem-solving. However, many Grades 4 to 6 learners at Sta. Maria Elementary School continue to struggle in achieving high-level numeracy proficiency. Despite evidence supporting parental involvement, structured parent-student collaboration in numeracy development remains limited.
Methods: This action research utilized a pretest-posttest design involving selected learners and their parents. Baseline data were gathered through diagnostic tests. An eight-week intervention consisting of structured home-based numeracy activities, guided practice, and collaborative problem-solving tasks was implemented. Post-tests and feedback surveys were conducted to assess outcomes.
Results: Findings showed a significant improvement in learners’ numeracy performance, particularly in higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills. Increased learner engagement and motivation were observed, alongside enhanced parental confidence in supporting numeracy learning.
Discussion: The results affirm that structured parent-student collaboration effectively enhances numeracy skills while strengthening home-school partnerships. Active parental involvement plays a critical role in sustaining learners’ academic development.
Conclusion: Parent-student collaboration is a practical, sustainable, and replicable strategy for improving numeracy proficiency. The intervention offers a scalable model for similar educational settings aiming to elevate mathematics achievement.
