Based on the descriptive statistics table provided, the key details are:

Pretest Mean Score: 4.8500

Posttest Mean Score: 8.4000

Sample Size (N): 20

This indicates that for the grade 4 pupils exposed to the counting losses intervention, their mean score
on the pretest was 4.8500, while their mean score on the posttest after the intervention was 8.4000.

The higher posttest mean score of 8.4000 compared to the pretest mean of 4.8500 suggests that the
counting losses intervention had a positive effect, leading to an increase in the mean scores of the pupils
from pretest to posttest on the activity assessment.
Based on the Paired Samples Test table provided, we can analyze if there is a significant difference
between the pretest and posttest mean scores:

The mean difference between the pretest and posttest scores is -3.5500. The negative value indicates the
posttest scores were higher than the pretest scores on average.

The t-statistic is -7.102 with 19 degrees of freedom.

The Sig. (2-tailed) p-value is 0.000.

Since the p-value (0.000) is less than the conventional 0.05 significance level, we can conclude that there
is a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores.

In other words, the data provides strong evidence that the counting losses intervention had a significant
positive effect on improving the scores from pretest to posttest on the assessment activity sheet for this
class of grade 4 pupils.

The 95% confidence interval for the mean difference also shows the plausible range of values, from -
4.59624 to -2.50376, which does not contain zero, further confirming the significance of the difference.
