This study assessed the factors affecting the academic performance of two schools (A and B) as a basis for the interventions. It is anchored on the theory of Edward Thorndike which is the theory on connectionism and the theory of constructivism of Jerome Bruner. The performance of learners is a result of financial, mental and ecological variables. Training assumes a critical job in political, monetary and social domains of advancement. Poor scholastic execution speaks to low results that demonstrate the degree to which a student has neglected to achieve explicit objectives that were the focal point of exercises in instructional situations, explicitly in school.
Numerous understudies are viewed as underachievers in Mathematics. They are normal or better than expected in their insight however their genuine accomplishment in these subjects didn't harmonize to their scholarly capacities. Generally, it is a disturbing perception among Filipino students that they exceed expectations in information achievement however admission extensively low in exercises requiring higher request thinking aptitudes. It is very evident with the result of the National Achievement Test of the students nationwide in Mathematics which was only 48.90 percent which is very obvious that it didn’t meet the passing rate of the Department of Education. The result is described as
poor achievement and below the national standard passing rate.
It is apparent in the performance of the pupils in School A, Schools Division of Cebu City with the results in their Periodical Examinations. The Mean Percentage Score (MPS) in athematics did not meet the standard passing rate of the Department of Education which is 75%, that is according to DECS Order No. 46, s.1983. Performance of the learners has persistently been poor. The repeated result made the teachers and administrator dissatisfied. Therefore, it is a great challenge for the teachers handling Mathematics to have a couple of solutions in solving these problems inside the classroom. This condition has encouraged the researcher to investigate the factors that contribute to the poor performance of the Grade six learners in School A.

Chapter Summaries
Chapter 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE: This chapter introduces the study's focus on assessing the factors influencing the academic performance of Grade 6 learners in mathematics at School A. It establishes the rationale behind the research, highlighting the need to understand the challenges faced by these students and to develop effective interventions. The chapter lays out the theoretical framework underpinning the study, defining key concepts and linking them to existing literature (though this literature is not explicitly detailed in the provided text). It then presents the research problem, detailing the specific questions the study seeks to answer and outlining the significance of the findings for improving educational practices in the context of School A and potentially beyond. The methodology section describes the descriptive approach employed, including the use of questionnaires and statistical analysis to assess student achievement and the identified factors influencing it. The chapter concludes by outlining the study’s scope and limitations.
