Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of number jigsaw puzzle manipulatives for number recognition skills among kindergartners at Cateel Central Elementary School during the 2023-2024. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized, with the control group received traditional instructions (15 students) and the experimental group received an intervention (18 students). Pre-test results revealed no significant differences between the control group and the experimental group with the grade percentages of 86.68 and 83.32. However, post- test results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group with the grade percentages of 97.73 compared to the control group with the grade percentage of 88.18. The statistical analysis confirmed this difference as significant, with a t-value of 2.532 and a p-value of 0.021. The results shows the exceptional efficacy of the number jigsaw puzzle manipulatives over traditional teaching methods in enhancing number recognition skills among kindergartners.
