— This study examined the effectiveness of Project MATH-SAYoN, a school-initiated innovation aimed at improving numeracy skills among elementary learners at Bobon Elementary School during the School Year 2023–2024. Rooted in the alarming results of national assessments such as PISA and NAT, the intervention targeted foundational math competencies through structured drills, differentiated remediation, and stakeholder collaboration. The primary goal was to evaluate learners’ academic performance before and after the project’s implementation and to develop a technical assistance plan based on the outcomes. A documentary research design was employed, involving 92 learners from Grades 1 to 6. Data collection included learners’ demographic profiles—sex, grade level, access to learning resources, and nutritional status—and their academic performance in Mathematics during the first and fourth quarters. Statistical tools such as point-biserial and ETA correlation, as well as paired sample t-tests, were used to determine relationships and significant differences in performance across grading periods. Findings revealed that while there were no significant correlations between learner profiles and academic performance, a statistically significant improvement in mean scores was observed from 83.73 in the first quarter to 86.51 in the fourth quarter. The percentage of students achieving “Outstanding” increased by 127.27%, while those in lower performance categories notably declined. These results highlight the effectiveness of Project MATH-SAYoN in fostering equitable and meaningful improvement in mathematical proficiency across diverse student groups. In conclusion, the program’s alignment with educational theories such as Thorndike’s Law of Exercise and Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory proved instrumental in its success. A technical assistance plan was formulated to guide the replication of best practices and ensure sustained implementation in similar educational contexts.
