This study aims to build the interest of non-numerates learners of Agtas Elementary to enhance the numeracy skills of learners.
The participants of this study are the non-numerates learners of Grade 4 pupils. They were selected after the conduct of RMA during the later year. The crafted different kinds of activity will be use thru Jaramatika Method will be the basis of intervention given to them and a source of Data and information of pupils. Their level of numeracy skills will acculate and elucidate by the researchers to come into a conclusion whether the program is effective to the non-numerate learner. The internal consistency reliability will be ensure, Through the pre-test and the post-test measure the same construct, they will be worded differently.

Excerpt from the Book
Context and Rationale
In line with Regional Memorandum No. 638 s 2023 Administration of the Rapid Mathematics Assessment (RMA), the foremost objective of the RMA is to evaluate the mathematical proficiency of learners in Grade 1 to 3. The data acquired will serve as a valuable instrument within our mathematics instruction. Furthermore, the Rapid Mathematics Assessment (RMA) is a vital tool designed for evaluating the foundational mathematical skills of learners. Its Primary aims is to pinpoint any gaps in these essential skills.
Numeracy is an essential skill that every learner should develop in order to succeed in their academic pursuits and in life beyond the classroom. Intensifying the strong development of numeracy skill can have a range of advantage for every learner in both academic and everyday life. It helps the learners to analyze, evaluate and solve problem that associate in numerical data. This is a bottom-line skill for many real-world situations or scenarios now a days.
According to Rasmitadila and Reza Rachmadtullah on their study “Using of Jarimatika counting method (JCM) to slow learner students in a mathematics lesson, non-numerates/struggling learners whose learning requires special attention by the teacher. Learners with mathematical literacy shortfalls characteristics as such weaknesses, and strengths have different ways of learning. Non-numerates learners/struggling learners are learners with absolute endeavor, limited social, emotional and cognitive interactions.
