students are extremely unconfident and reluctant to solve. The main reason is that

Mathematics problem. They even judge themselves that they are not good at
problem solving. They thought that they do not have talents in solving. Actually, those
kinds of thoughts often burden themselves and influence their attitudes towards
problem-solving. So, the result is that they try to avoid solving, and when they do

The researcher encountered many students who are poor in both comprehending
and analyzing math word problems. Specifically in Grade 8 classes, only 10 out of 40
students could successfully solve word problems with or without help from the
75% find it hard to picture the situation indicated by the problem they are trying to
solve. The slower ones would even ask the meaning of a certain word in the problem.
When they have understood it, it is only then that they fully grasp the event and
the math problems correctly and connecting the ideas expressed in it to fully grasp

1. What are the difficulties of the students in analytical and computational skills?
2. How can the Grade 8 students improve their analytical and computational skills?
students admit that they are reluctant and unconfident because they do not know
how to do it. It is because their main problems are the reading comprehension skill
and problem-solving technique. The good news is that teachers can improve
Grade 8 students. Prior to the integration, the teacher conducts problem-solving pre-
test to determine the problem-solving competence of the students. The test made is
and learning process will be effective. After the conduct of the innovation, the teacher

IV. Action Research Methods
The target subjects for this study will be the two sections of Grade 8 students
at UEP Laboratory High School for the school year 2022 - 2023. From these two
sections, one will be the experimental group and the other one is the control group.
Permission will be ask from the Mathematics teachers and school principal to gather
shown to the Mathematics teachers and the school principal for content validation.

process in which the result of the pre-test will be used as the baseline in determining
if there was a positive increase in terms of the competencies learned as well as the
performance in Math.

The research data will utilize statistical tools in the data analysis. The data will
