         K to 12 Program in Mathematics is in the process of developing a new section of all senior high school students’ ideas wherein they need to be engaged to the designed curriculum.

           Though some teachers are allowing their students to actively participate in metacognitive processing to demonstrate higher-order thinking skills, there are still type of problem each student could encounter. With this case, math intervention is advised in order to enhance the numeracy skills of the students. And to ensure that the framework of math interventions is properly presented, teachers need an immediate feedback and engagement during the discussion of math subject.

          Math Intervention within a regular class can use explicit or differentiated instruction to measure if the students’ performances are generally done towards their strength, need and interest or towards their specific strengths and weaknesses.

            During remedial hour, the teacher can also provide variety of attractive, interesting and innovative materials so that the pupils would encourage answering different types of questions in the word problem.

          Additionally, a scaffolding of student learning can be provided throughout so that the instructions that will be given to the students would be easily adjusted by the teacher.
