Elevate Young Minds: Effectiveness of Addibox on Kindergarten Learners’ Single-Digit Addition Skill

Abstract

Developing strong foundational math skills in early childhood is critical, and single-digit addition is a core competency. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of ADDIBOX to the single-digit addition skills of kindergarten learners. A quasi-experimental design was used for 45 kindergarten students of Meycauayan West Central Integrated School that were divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group used the ADDIBOX during the math lessons, while the control group followed the traditional instruction. The pre- and post-tests were administered to both groups to measure their prior knowledge and the progress. The results of the study showed that those who utilized the ADDIBOX demonstrated significantly higher improvement in the addition performance of the kindergarten learners compared to the learners that were taught traditionally. The study concludes that ADDIBOX is a valuable educational tool for strengthening early mathematical skills. It provides an interactive, meaningful hands-on approach that fosters active engagement and improved learning outcomes, making it a promising learning tool for developing foundational numeracy skills.
