Certain studies and researches on students’ performance in mathematics proved that students are declining in terms of their performance in the subject. According to Jamil, Mastura and Imam (2013) the performance of Filipino students in the 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in which the Filipino second year high school students ranked 41st in math out of 46 participants, stuck at the bottom while struggling at a passing level locally. Students’ performance in the National Achievement Test (NAT) was even more discouraging. According to Kiwanuka (2015) many factors are connected with mathematics achievement: society, families, schools, teachers, peers and individual abilities. In order to attain the national goals related to scientific literacy, it is necessary to determine what factors influence achievement of students in mathematics. In short, there is a need to analyze all related research, make appropriate policies and develop effective educational methods to improve science and mathematics education. In order to promote greater student achievement and meet increased expectations, Mathematics teacher will need a battery of instructional materials to fulfill students’ needs. Students will more likely see the value of the lesson if the instructional materials and student-assigned tasks reflect the worth of the content. The choice of instructional
