Abstract
The purpose of this study is to identify the effectiveness of Graphmatica and
GeoGebra Softwares in Caybiga High School, a public school in Caloocan City. It is also a study to enhance the teaching learning process in school to be integrated using
Mathematical softwares. Experimental design was used in the study. The method of
experimental design used in the study is the True Experimental. Particularly, pretest and
post test design was used to identify the differences of the groups. In this method, the
researcher used stratified random sampling in selecting the respondents and he used the first quarter grades as the basis of the selection. This method relied on the performance
of the respondents to test the hypothesis using the t-test. The two Technological Softwares, Graphmatica and Geogebra, were utilized in the computer laboratory or in a
classroom with projectors installed. The two softwares are free to download and a user friendly on tablet, computers, or even in cellphones. The results of the researcher-made pretest revealed that there is a need to discuss the topics of polynomial function and geometry. The performance of the students was evidently increased in terms of meant scores. Both in Polynomials and Geometry, the experimental group performed better with mean difference of 11.35 each level from the control group with 6 34 and 6.77 for average and low level respectively in polynomials. In Geometry, the experimental group gained significantly with 12.65 and 12.77 for average and low level respectively while the control group got 7.04 and 7.77 for the average and low level, separately. In the pretest, both in Polynomials and Geometry, the p-value is greater than the computed value. Hence, the null hypothesis was not rejected as there is no significant difference in the pretest scores of the two groups. In the post test, the results were evidently increased The p-value is less than the computed value. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected as there is a significant difference in the post test scores of the two groups.
