📄 Abstract

This experimental study investigates the implementation of the Butterfly Method as a remedial strategy for struggling mathematics learners. The Butterfly Method, a visual and structured approach to teaching fraction operations, aims to simplify complex arithmetic processes, making them more accessible to students with difficulties in mathematics. The study involves grade 5 struggling learners in mathematics based on their performance in the standardized mathematics tests. Participants were the 43 grade 5 students of Magugpo Pilot Central Elementary School as the experimental group, identified under low level of proficiency in mathematics subject based on the grade of 79 and below in the First Quarter of the School Year 2023-2024. Over a 5-session intervention period, participants were assessed on their understanding and application of fraction operations through pre-tests and post-tests. Results indicate that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in their mathematical performance, suggesting the effectiveness of the Butterfly Method in enhancing the mathematical skills of struggling learners. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating the Butterfly Method into regular mathematics curricula and further research on its long-term impacts on learners' mathematical proficiency.
