Abstract:
This study aimed to find out the level of mathematics readiness of Grade 7 students in Tairan National High School. The Mathematics Readiness Assessment (MRA) measured the Grade 6 mathematics competencies of the students in terms of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages, geometry, measurements, and graphs. It made use of descriptive research design to describe the extent of readiness in mathematics through the mean, standard deviation, and Mean Percentage Scores (MPS). Only Fifty (50) out of 116 students were conveniently chosen to be the respondents of this study. The MRA results show that the Grade 7 students are not ready with an overall Mean Percentage Score of 29.85, indicating that students have low mastery in Mathematics. Moreover, a welch t-test results revealed that there is no significant difference in the mathematics readiness of male and female students. The researchers, then, recommend that concerned authorities must take immediate action and design interventions to address the learning needs of the students.
