II. Project Summary

The MATH STARS – Mathematics and Thinking Skills for Teaching and
Real-world Applications for Students project aims to enhance elementary
students' understanding and appreciation of mathematics through
practical applications and real-world problem-solving.

Purpose: This project is designed to address the common struggle that


students face in grasping abstract mathematical concepts, making math
more relatable and enjoyable.

Activities: Students will engage in hands-on activities, such as math


games, real-life math challenges, and project-based learning that
connects math to everyday situations (e.g., budgeting, cooking,
measuring).
Implementation: The classroom teacher will facilitate the project with the
help of student volunteers, parents, and community members as resource
persons.

Location: Activities will be conducted in the school environment,


including classrooms, the playground, and local community settings.

Duration: The project will be implemented over one semester, with


weekly activities and monthly assessments.

Budget: The estimated budget ranges from PHP 1,000 to PHP 5,000,
which will cover materials, supplies, and any necessary field trips.

Project Background
Students often find it challenging to connect mathematical concepts
with their daily lives, which can lead to disinterest and a lack of
confidence in their math skills. This project addresses the need to create a
more engaging math curriculum that emphasizes practical applications
and critical thinking. By introducing real-world scenarios where math is
used, we aim to enhance students' problem-solving skills and their
understanding of how math is integral to various aspects of life.

The project builds on previous educational initiatives focused on active


learning, highlighting the importance of experiential education in
mathematics. Research indicates that students who engage in hands-on
math activities develop a stronger grasp of concepts and improve their
overall academic performance (refer to educational literature on
experiential learning).
III. Project Objectives

1. To improve students’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills


through practical applications of mathematics.
2. To increase student engagement and motivation in mathematics by
using real-world contexts.
3. To enhance students' understanding of key math concepts through
hands-on learning experiences.
4. To foster collaboration among students, teachers, and the community
in mathematical learning.

IV. Project Methodology

Outcomes

B. Project Deliverables

1. Math Activity Kits: Kits containing games and materials for hands-on math
activities.
2. Challenge Projects: Student-created projects demonstrating math
applications in real-life scenarios (e.g., budgeting a class party).
3. Student Reflection Journals: Journals where students document their learning
experiences and reflections on the activities.
4. Final Presentation: A showcase event where students present their projects
and learning outcomes to peers, parents, and faculty
C. Project Risk Management

Risk 1: Low student participation or engagement.


Mitigation: Incorporate student interests and feedback into activity planning;
incentivize participation with rewards.
Risk 2: Limited resources for materials and supplies.
Mitigation: Seek donations from parents and the community; use recycled
materials.
Risk 3: Difficulty in connecting math concepts to real-life applications.
Mitigation: Provide structured guidance and examples during activities to
ensure clarity and understanding.
V. Project Costs

A. Project Budget (Estimated)

Item Estimated Cost (PHP)


Math activity kits and supplies 2,000
Printing materials (worksheets, 500
posters)
Transportation for field activities 1,000
Incentives for student participation 500
Miscellaneous expenses 500
Total Estimated Cost 4,500

B. Sources of Funding will be sourced from local community sponsors,


fundraising events, and contributions from the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA).

VI. Monitoring and Evaluation


The project’s effectiveness will be evaluated through:
1. Pre- and Post-Assessments: Evaluating students' understanding of math
concepts before and after the project.
2. Observation Checklists: Teachers will use checklists to monitor student
engagement and participation during activities.
3. Reflection Journals: Regular reviews of student journals to assess
understanding and reflections on the learning process.
4. Final Showcase Feedback: Collecting feedback from peers and parents during
the presentation event to gauge the overall impact of the project.

VII. Next Steps


To ensure the sustainability of the project:
1. Integrate successful activities into the regular math curriculum for
ongoing engagement.
2. Establish partnerships with local businesses for resource support in future
projects.
3. Create a resource guide for teachers on practical math applications based
on project outcomes.
4. Encourage student-led initiatives to promote continuous learning and
application of math in daily life.
