Pasay City National Science High School has introduced Project NUMERO (Numeracy Enhancement and Reinforcement Opportunities), a specialized program aimed at boosting students’ proficiency in mathematics. As part of a local initiative under the Office of the City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano, Dr. Rogelio S. Junio as the main proponent, and the Schools Division of Pasay City, Project NUMERO is designed to reinforce the mathematics curriculum by equipping learners with critical thinking, logical reasoning, and problem-solving skills essential for academic success and real-life applications.

The Department of Education’s goal is to cultivate numeracy among students, enabling them to apply mathematical skills in various contexts. Through Project NUMERO, the school emphasizes the importance of problem-solving and critical thinking in mathematics education, with these skills embedded in both the curriculum and assessment methods.

In response to identified learning gaps, Project NUMERO serves as a targeted intervention for students at Pasay City National Science High School. The program includes engaging, hands-on activities to make math concepts more accessible and to support students who may need additional reinforcement in numeracy. This initiative also functions as a learning recovery strategy, helping students to strengthen their foundational skills and keep pace with their grade-level expectations.

Objectives of Project NUMERO include to gauge the numeracy proficiency of students from Grades 1-10, identifying areas for improvement, gain insights into each learner’s mathematical understanding to provide targeted support and implement activities designed to improve and enhance students’ numeracy skills.

The program is set to begin with the start of the new school year and is expected to create a lasting impact on students’ mathematical competencies at Pasay City National Science High School.
