The validated SIMs which the researcher made were based on these two topics: The Human Reproductive System and Classifying Vertebrates. The respondents of this study were pupils from four of the ten sections of Grade V of Bayawan City East Central School. There were 36 pupils for the first SIM-The Human Reproductive System and 42 pupils for the second SIM-Classifying Vertebrates; both were divided into control and experimental groups. All of the respondents were the pupils who failed to master the proficiency level of 75% after the teacher delivered the lesson. Results showed that, for both SIMs, there is significant increase on Mean Percentage Score (MPS) in experimental groups compared to control groups. Therefore the use of Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) for remediation was very effective compared to one-on-one direct instruction with close supervision of the teachers. The study then recommends the utilization of the SIMs as remediation tools to enhance the proficiency level of low performing students.

The descriptive-correlational design was used in this study. The researcher utilized index of difficulty, percentage, mean, and Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation.
The study revealed that majority of the pupils are female. The pupils’ first grading period performance in English is in the “developing” level and in the “approaching proficiency” level for both Science and Mathematics. It further showed that the pupils’ DUTP performance in English and in Science is in the “developing” level and in “approaching proficiency” level in Mathematics.
Moreover, the following proportions of items in the DUTP examinations were found to be difficult: one-fourth of the items in English, more than half of the items in Mathematics, and almost half of the items in Science.
Furthermore, there was a “high” relationship between the first grading and DUTP performance of the pupils in English as well as in Science. A “marked” relationship was also noted in Mathematics.
Lastly, a substantial difference was revealed between the performance of the male and female pupils in the following areas: English and Science in the first grading period; and English in the DUTP examination in favor of the female pupils.
The study has the following recommendations:
1. Since the pupils were in the “developing” level in English (both in the first grading and DUTP performance), the teachers should consider the item analysis results. Items that were classified as difficult should be stressed more in classroom discussion.
2. Inasmuch as there were numerous difficult items in Mathematics and Science during the DUTP examination, a well-planned tutorial session should be organized by the teachers. This activity should be done a month before the said examination.
3. The male pupils should be encouraged to participate more in classroom discussion. During class activities, they should be paired with female pupils who excel in class.
4. The supervisors should ensure that the items included in the DUTP examination go through an item analysis.

The teachers encountered a "serious" problem in the translation of Mathematical concepts or language in the Mother tongue and had a "moderate" problem in the utilization of effective questioning skill and in giving of exercises and activities. Moreover, they faced a "slight" problem in the utilization of effective reacting technique. The findings disclosed that the class academic performance of the pupils is in the "approaching proficiency" level. There is a "slight" negative relationship between the extent of problems encountered by the teachers in the translation of the Mathematical concepts and the class academic performance of the pupils. There is also a "slight" negative relationship between the number of relevant trainings attended by the teachers and the following variables: utilization of effective questioning skill, utilization of effective reacting technique and giving exercises and activities. Moreover, the study showed that there is a "slight" negative relationship between the educational attainment of the teachers and the following variables: utilization of effective reacting technique and giving of exercises and activities. It is, therefore, recommended that: 1. Teachers upgrade their skills in managing classroom instruction by pursuing further studies and attend more training focusing on the translation of the content of the Mathematics competencies in the Mother tongue. 2. Teachers, in coordination with the School Head, Public Schools District Supervisor, and Education Program Supervisor for Mathematics, formulate varied exercises activities in the Mother Tongue so as to enhance learning.
