ABSTRACT
This action research was conducted to upskill teachers’ competencies in improving learners’ numeracy skills in multiplication using personally crafted songs and to test its effectiveness. The participants of the study were the 30 Grade V learners of Lo-ong Elementary School for the S.Y. 2023-2024. During the conduct of the study, the researchers used the created multiplication songs for tables 2 to 10 with a piano, and in the intervention, the thirty (30) learners listened to the song, then they joined in singing the multiplication song. Every two days, the learners sang one table so that they could memorize. This study used a one-group pre-test post-test research design; the data were analyzed using a mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test for paired samples. The findings revealed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores of the learners. Furthermore, it revealed that after exposure to the intervention results showed “very high” performance in the multiplication table. It was concluded that a personally crafted song is an effective intervention in improving the performance of the learners in multiplication skills. With this, personally crafted songs are deemed recommended to be utilized as an intervention in teaching multiplication subjects in all Elementary grades in the District of Concepcion.
