| Abstract | This study sought to develop an interactive module incorporating financial literacy in teaching fraction and decimals for Grade 7 Mathematics. This study used pretest-posttest one-group design with qualitative support to distinguish the effect of the interactive module on students conceptual understanding, financial literacy and motivation to achieve. Based on the quantitative and qualitative analyses of the study, there was a significant improvement in the students' pre-test and post-test scores on conceptual understanding, financial literacy and motivation to achieve. Results also showed that students were able to understanding the concept of fractions and decimals; see application of fraction and decimals into different fields and most specially its connection to financial literacy. In addition, students realized the importance of savings and budgeting, and even became financially wise. The developed interactive modules incorporating financial literacy were integrated with interactive websites, financial literacy videos, and online assessments. The researcher recommends the use of the interactive module incorporating financial literacy in secondary mathematics classes to facilitate the learning process in teaching fractions and decimals. Also, similar interactive modules incorporating any real life skills must be developed. |
