Project 3Ms (Making Mathematics Meaningful) and the Academic Performance of the Stem Students in General Mathematics

ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine Project 3M’s’ (Making Mathematics Meaningful) effectiveness in teaching General Mathematics, particularly in the rational function. The respondents of the study were the 33 STEM 11-Jade students of Quirino National High School for the school year 2020 2021. One–group pre-test – post-test research design was utilized in this study. The statistical tools used were mean and standard deviation, paired sample t-test, and Cohen’s D to analyze and interpret the scores of the students. Based on the findings, the student’s level of performance before the implementation of Project 3M’s has a mean score of 4.152 which means low; hence, when Project 3M’s was employed, the students’ level of performance became high with a mean score of 12.121. This implied that there is a significant difference in the level of performance of the STEM 11 –Jade before and after the implementation of Project 3M’s (Making Mathematics Meaningful). Thus, students who were exposed to this intervention improved their performance as shown in the computed Cohen’s D value of 2.812 which means a large effect. Therefore, Project 3M’s was an effective intervention in evaluating the learning outcomes of the STEM 11-Jade students in General Mathematics, particularly in rational functions.
