As part of its continuing commitment to foundational education, the school proudly launches Brigada Pagbilang 2025—a week-long numeracy support initiative held from June 9 to 13, 2025 in line with the national Brigada Eskwela. This year's campaign carries the empowering theme: “Bridging Math Gaps, Building Confidence.”
Brigada Pagbilang is designed to address the numeracy challenges faced by learners in Grades 7 to 10, particularly those who struggle with basic operations, number sense, and problem-solving skills. Like Brigada Pagbasa, the initiative is grounded in the principle of inclusive education and community engagement, drawing support from teachers, parents, alumni, and student volunteers.
The program follows a structured, leveled approach. On the first day, learners will undergo a baseline numeracy assessment to identify key gaps in computation, pattern recognition, place value understanding, and word problem comprehension. Based on the results, students will be grouped into numeracy levels: Group A for foundational remediation, Group B for guided practice, Group C for reinforcement, and Group D for fluency and enrichment.
Each day of Brigada Pagbilang carries a focused mathematical theme. Day 2 will concentrate on number operations and mental math drills, utilizing manipulatives, flashcards, and collaborative games to build confidence and speed. On Day 3, the spotlight will shift to problem-solving and real-life math scenarios, helping learners connect abstract concepts to practical application through interactive activities such as budgeting, measuring, and estimation tasks.
On the final day, learners will participate in a Math Quiz Bee Showcase, where selected participants from each group will demonstrate their progress in a friendly, inclusive competition. Certificates of participation and improvement will be awarded, highlighting not only accuracy but also effort and a growth mindset.
To ensure effective intervention, math teachers will facilitate small-group sessions using leveled materials. A progress monitoring form, using a simple 1–5 rating scale for each day, will be used to track learner growth in understanding and skill application.
Brigada Pagbilang is also a celebration of partnership. Volunteers—including student leaders, alumni, and parents—will assist in math games, peer coaching, and motivational activities. The presence of these community members sends a powerful message: that numeracy is not a subject to fear, but a skill to embrace—with encouragement and collective support.
At the end of the program, an accomplishment report will document the learners served, materials used, outputs created, and the changes observed in learner confidence and performance. Recommendations will be gathered for sustaining numeracy remediation throughout the school year.
“Building numeracy is about more than solving problems—it’s about helping students believe they can. When we build their math confidence, we unlock doors to lifelong learning and future success.”
Through this initiative, the school reaffirms its mission to make learning equitable, relevant, and empowering. By bridging Math gaps, Brigada Pagbilang 2025 builds not only better learners but also bolder problem-solvers.
