SITUATION ANALYSIS
 During my internship period ,I have encountered many pupils
of grade 7 who are poor in both comprehending and analyzing
mathematical word problems. In straight computation like plain
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, they can solve
them successfully but when these are written in the verbal
context, they feel difficulty. Most of them find it hard to picture
the situation indicated by the problem they are trying to solve.
The slow one even ask the meaning of certain word in the
problem. Some pupils can’t relate or connect the ideas
explained in the problem. From the achievement test which was
conducted in class 7, I found that most of the students have
faced difficulty in solving mathematical word problem.
OBJECTIVES
 To improve the pupils’ limited vocabulary words in
mathematics by providing interesting and challenging
vocabulary activities involving Mathematics.
 To develop the pupils’ technique in solving word
problem.
PLANNING FOR ACTION
 Day1 : Informing the school head about the action research to be undertaken and to
grant permission to conduct the research.
 Day2: Orienting the pupils and co-teachers regarding the action research.
 Day3 to Day 10th: Improving the pupils' limited vocabulary words in Mathematics
1. Survey the Mathematics vocabulary skill of the pupils.
2. Establish a tutor-tutee relationship . Select intelligent students from the class and
assign one bench to each intelligent student. Who will help the slow learners to
develop problem solving skill.
3. Provide interesting and challenging vocabulary activities involving Math
vocabulary activities such as puzzle and game.
 Day11th to Day 20th: Developing the pupils’ techniques in solving word problems
1. Draw a graph, chart, graphic organizer or list to help the students organize
their information found in the word problem. Then the pupils will be able to
organize the given data and connect the ideas expressed in the problem.
2. Ask the students to make representation of objects so they will be able to
visualize the problem clearly. They can use ruler, play money, realia , blocks,
dice, etc.
3. Substitute large numbers by simpler numbers and use them instead of what
are given in the problem, Problems can also be restated in much simpler terms.
4. Solve by "trial and error" or "guess and check" by using the answers provided
in multiple choice problems.
EVALUATION

 The data recorded in the observation will be

analyzed as such

 Improvement seen in the development in

problem solving skills of word problems in
mathematics.
 Improvement in mathematical vocabulary and
techniques in solving word problem.
