ABSTRACT

The study highlights the vital role teachers play in enhancing students' numeracy skills, emphasizing the importance of effective mathematical teaching techniques. It focuses on the use of various mathematical formulas and the development of logical thinking through numeracy. Employing a descriptive research design, the study surveyed 105 randomly selected teacher-respondents to assess their teaching styles and approaches. Findings revealed that repetitive, lecture, cooperative, interactive, and inductive teaching methods were considered highly effective in improving students' numeracy skills. Based on these results, the study recommends the immediate implementation of an intervention program provided funding allows. It encourages Mathematics teachers to continuously explore and adopt the best teaching strategies, with a call for the dissemination and validation of these practices. Additionally, it stresses the importance of allocating adequate resources for instructional materials to support the adoption of diverse teaching approaches for effective Mathematics instruction.

Key words: repetitive style, lecture style, cooperative approach, interactive approach, and inductive approach
