Maam:

Greetings!

We are Reymark A. Catalla, Malie T. Cotejar, Kristine Camille P. Darole, and China Marie S. Pico,
fourth-year college students, taking up the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics. As
one of the requirements in our teaching internship, we are currently working on our action research
entitled “Investigating the Effectiveness of Game-Based Mathematics Activities In Enhancing
Student Performance.” We are in the process of data gathering. On this basis, we are seeking your
approval to conduct our action research and implementation.

The main goal of this action research is to investigate the effectiveness of game-based mathematics
activities in enhancing Grade 9 students' performance at Alangalang Agro-Industrial School.

Rest assured that the data to be gathered from the students will be used only for research purposes and
will be treated according to the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
