Table 3 shows the performance of grade seven (7) students of

Caloocan High School in pretest of basic topics in Mathematics. It reveals

that no students got a score of twenty nine (29) and above. Only thirty

two percent (32%) of the respondents have average mastery in basic

topics in Mathematics. It means forty four (44) out of one hundred thirty

six (136) students have scores in the range of twenty two (22) to twenty

eight (28). While thirty eight percent (38%), fifty two (52) students, are

in the range of fifteen (15) to twenty one (21), have low mastery. There

are thirty five (35) students got scores in the range of eight (8) to
fourteen (14). This is twenty six (26%) of the respondents who have

very low mastery. And, there are five (5) students, that is four percent

(4%) of the respondents, whose scores are in the range of zero (0) to

seven (7). They have absolutely no mastery in basic topics in

Mathematics.
