Improving Mathematics Learning Outcomes Through Developed and Validated Contextualized Learning Activity Sheets (Clas)

The use of varied teaching strategies in mathematics has been recognized as a promising approach to enhance the teaching and learning process, providing students with meaningful and engaging learning experiences. In line with this, the present study investigated the effectiveness of Contextualized Learning Activity Sheets (cLAS) compared to DepEd-provided Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) in improving the mathematical performance of Grade 9 students at Carrascal National High School. The study was motivated by the recent Rapid Mathematics Assessment (RMA) results, which indicated that over 50% of Grade 9 learners were classified as low proficient, highlighting the need for targeted instructional interventions.
