Abstract:
This study was conducted to prove that the continuous used of mathematics drill can have an impact on the numeracy skills of the learners in the primary grades. The school-participants of this study were selected in accordance with their reports on the 2018 Project All Numerates findings the schools with the lowest numeracy rates in the conduct of one basic fact a day. There are seven elementary schools that were purposively selected to find out the highest rate of numeracy skills in their school in the primary grades (Grades 1, 2, & 3). Statistical analysis like mean, standard deviation and t-test were used for this study. Results show that significant differences transpired after getting the results of the arithmetic mean and t-test which showed remarkable improvements. This means that learners' interaction with exposure to mathematics drill employed the causal style of discourse and had significantly better numeracy retention and gained the mastery level of the lesson presented at once. Based on the findings of the study, relevant recommendations were provided afterwards.
