Juanians Mathematics Power-Up: Overcoming Challenges in Solving Word Problems Involving Multiplication Process
CAROLYN BARET DELOS REYES, MA.Ed. TEACHER III
SAN JUAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STO.TOMAS SOUTH
DIVISION OF BATANGAS 09094761849
I. Context and Rationale
According to the article of Times of India (2015) defined Mathematics is a
methodical application of matter. It is so said because the subject makes a man
methodical or systematic. Mathematics makes our life orderly and prevents chaos.
Certain qualities that are nurtured by mathematics are power of reasoning, creativity,
abstract or spatial thinking, critical thinking, problem-solving ability and even effective
communication skills
In addition Kitchen(2016) ,stated that the real purpose of mathematics to the
students is to see that mathematics can help them better understand and describe the
world around them. There is real-life application of almost every form of mathematics.
As an educator , must implore to show your students the true purpose of math.
Help them see that math is here to help them better understand and explain the world
around them. Use real-life math lessons like mine and others out there to help them
see this. Your students will be better for it, and you might just enjoy teaching even
more than you normally do. ( Kitchen ,2016)

As implying that mathematics subject is very important subject that requires a
deep understanding by the learners. Students must open their mind and invaded to
their lives the real purpose of knowing mathematics can create a big changes in
their daily lives activities.
Pupils learn to develop critical thinking, deep reasoning for certain problem
that requires a correct solution. Likewise, solving word problem is major topic in
mathematics grade 4 that imposed in the K-12 curriculum.
Analyzing the word problem can boast the mind of the young students to
develop comprehension and finding the correct answer in a certain problem. Learners
must evaluate the problem so that they can used the correct operation.
Word problem in mathematics is a common topic that usually learners find
hard to understand and closed their mind to solve it. For them solving problem is
a big hindrance and bring a burden to their studies.
What is word problem? Wikipedia stated that in science education, a word
problem is a mathematical exercise where significant background information on the
problem is presented as text rather than in mathematical notation. As word problems
often involve a narrative of some sort, they are occasionally also referred to as story
problems and may vary in the amount of language used.
Furthermore, there are good benefits in understanding and knowing problem
solving. Ayaz(2015) mentioned that problem solving is about solving problems. The
whole aim of education is to equip children to solve problems, but not only in math.

The ultimate goal of any problem-solving program is to improve students' performance
at solving problems correctly.
The researchers are very fascinated to truly comprehend the factors that
initiates the hindrances and overcoming the challenges encountered by the
grade4 pupils at San Juan Elementary School in solving word problem involving
multiplication process. Understanding and identifying the learning problems
by the students in solving word problem can a big help for them to create a certain
approaches, techniques wherein teachers can plan the correct learning materials that
will suited to the type of learning capabilities of the learners.
Also, this study aims to determine the action research writing to articulate
plans, projects, and programs, varieties of teaching methodologies that will create a
simple way on how the learners will appreciate the beauty of knowing and deep
understanding of problem solving that involves multiplication process and how they
will it apply to their lives.
Furthermore, it aims to develop confidence and boast their knowledge in
multiplying numbers Once they are singled out, understood, and analyzed, these
issues may be addressed with specific actions and measures. This will eventually
result in the better performance of the students, teachers, and the school in general.
As mentioned by Jackson( 2014), Mathematics is an important part of
everyday life and is one of the primary focuses in education. Ayaz (2015) Problem
Solving also contributes to mathematics itself. It is part of one whole area of the subject

that has largely passed unnoticed in schools around the world. Mathematics consists
of skills and processes.
On the other hand Ayaz(2015) stated also that Problem Solving is worth
pointing out that we find it useful to distinguish between the three words "method",
"answer" and "solution". By "method" we mean the means used to get an answer. This
will generally involve one or more problem solving strategies. On the other hand, we
use "answer" to mean a number, quantity or some other entity that the problem is
asking for. Finally, a "solution" is the whole process of solving a problem, including the
method of obtaining an answer and the answer itself. We must distinguish every detail
in problem solving. “method + answer = solution”.
According to ASQ Quality Press, (2003),define the act of defining a problem;
determining the cause of the problem; identifying, prioritizing and selecting alternatives
for a solution; and implementing a solution. There are there are four basic steps in
problem solving ; first Define the problem, second Generate alternative solutions,
third Evaluate and select an alternative and the fourth step is Implement and
follow up on the solution.
Meanwhile in the K12 book in Mathematics 4 , the following are the steps
understand( read and understand the problem), plan( determine the operation to
be used ),solve ( solve using the operation) and last check and look back ( see
if your answer makes sense and state the complete answer).

LEMP 8: Minsan po malalalim ang English,kaya po mahirap kapag problem solving.”
LEMP 9: Ilang beses kop o binabasa ang problem solving, tapos kapag di ko po ma gets , minsan nag tatanong po ako sa classmates ko po or pina pa check ko po ke mam kung tama ang gawa ko.
LEMP 10: Dapat po memorize kung paano mag multiply , alam pop ag add, pag munis,pagdidivide po para tama ang sagot sa problem solving po.”Hindi din nag papaturo sa kanilang bahay.
Based on the table 1, it shows that pupils from grade four level has different
perceptions about the things that they encountered in analyzing word problem
especially in the process of multiplication. Majority of their perceptions about
solving word problem is that, most of them did not memorize the multiplication
table, they think that multiplying numbers are very difficult and they got confused
to solve it, they find hard to understand the problem because of poor
comprehension in analyzing and the terminologies used .

Based on the interviews , in-depth analysis on the data gathered the
following are the patterns that derived from the findings; in terms of prior
knowledge , analyzing word problem is essential to the learning of the pupils.
According to the study of Mohammad Seifi ( 2012) , as stated by Cummins,( 1991)
he mentioned that an important component of mathematics training is solving word
problem. Real word problems that require mathematics for solution typically do
not come to use equations ready to be solved but rather as word or pictorial
representations that must be interpreted symbolically ,manipulated and solved. In
addition ; Verschafel et al. (2000) defined word problems as verbal descriptions of
problem situation wherein one or more question are raised, the answer to which can
be obtained by the application of mathematical operations to numerical data available
in problem statement.
In terms of experiences, the two indicators are teacher’s observations
and pupil’s perceptions based on their struggles encountered . Grade Four pupils
have a previous awareness in analyzing word problem however they experience

problems in understanding the problem. They struggle in knowing the problem on
what process be needed so that they will come up with the correct answer. For
them , they felt distracted in understanding the text presented by their teacher.
Grade four pupils find crucial in memorizing the multiplication table , they did not
listen carefully to their teacher, they are not interested to find the correct steps
and process in analyzing the problem.
Lastly for the results or outcome are the following; Teacher’s
Interventions, Work Plan ,Strategies . According to Teresa Oettinger Montani(2014)
stated different Strategies and Interventions to Support Students with Mathematics
Disabilities like RIDE (Mercer, Mercer, & Pullen, 2011) is a strategy used to assist
students with solving word problems. Students who experience difficulty with abstract
reasoning, attention, memory, and/or visual spatial skills may benefit from the strategy.
Ensure that steps are taught through demonstration and plenty of opportunities for
practice are provided before asking students to independently use the strategy.
Visually display the strategy on a chart or class website as a reminder. Like RIDE,
FAST DRAW(Mercer & Miller, 1992) is another strategy used to solve word problems.
Teach each step in the sequence allowing sufficient time for guided practice prior to
asking students to independently implement the strategy. Create a visual display and
post in the classroom or student notebooks to assist students. Also, TINS Strategy
(Owen, 2003) The TINS strategy allows students to use different steps to analyze and
solve word problems.
In addition to the teaching strategies Math seeds suggested the seven
Effective Strategies for Teaching Elementary Math ; make it hands on, use visual

ideas , incorporate storytelling to make connections to the real world scenarios ,
show and tell new concepts , let your students regularly know how they’re doing .
Finally , the action or work plan design by the teacher to meet the
target goals of the pupils on how they will overcome and surpass their learning
problems they encountered in solving word problem.

Based on the perceptions by the grade four pupils, learning problems that
they encountered and experiences on solving word problem involving multiplication
are the following; lack of comprehension – understanding the process and steps to
do, lack of strategy and approach on how they will solve the problem , failure to
assess the problem because of low performance of the pupils in terms of
comprehensions, inability to use the right mathematical process, difficulties to
memorize the multiplication table, lack of interest about the lesson and did not
listen while their teacher is explaining the topic, and some of the pupils are
focused on playing instead of listening and understanding the problem.
According to Siniguian (2018) Mathematics develops the mind to think
critically and analytically . One of the interesting concerns about learning
Mathematics is the fact that it develops the mind to solve problems that need
higher order thinking skills . These problems and puzzles induced the curiosity
and challenged the ingenuity of individuals . ( Saniguian,2018)

According to the study of Hadi ( 2018) , as mentioned by Sumarmo ( 2005)
says that problem solving has two meanings : (1) problem solving is seen as a
learning approach used in reinvention of materials understanding, concepts ,
mathematical principles and problem solving . Learning begins by presenting a
contextual problem then through student induction to discover the mathematical
concepts; and ( 2) problem solving is seen as a hard skills that has indicators ,
including ; identifying the adequacy of data in solving a problem , creating
mathematical models and solving them , selecting and implementing strategies in
solving mathematical problems , and explaining or interpreting the results of
solutions problem and re-examine the answers obtained.
In solving the problem of one’s willingness to engage in a problem is
needed in achieving the goal . Person can develop himself into a constructive
and reflective person in the face of problem Hadi ( 2018). Grade Four pupils
mentioned of their ideas on how they can overcome the learning problems they
encountered in solving word problem involving multiplication ; have patient in
memorizing the multiplication , have courage and have confidence to solve the
word problem, listen attentively while the teacher is explaining the lesson , be
active and participative during the discussion , ask a question to your teacher if
they got confused , consult a help to others in solving problem, and develop
critical thinking.
