HEURISTIC METHOD IN NON – ROUTINE WORD PROBLEMS AND MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE

Abstract The main objective of this study was to find out the effect of Heuristic method in learning non-routine word problems. The study utilized the one group pretest – posttest experimental design to find the difference in the performance of students who were exposed to the use of Heuristic method in learning mathematics. Using t-test, result of this study turned out that students under study performed better in their posttest after the experimentation was conducted.
