Assessing Scatter Plot Graph as Visual Aid in Understanding Geometric Sequences Among Grade 10 Students at Sapang Palay National High School

Visual aids can turn abstract mathematical concepts into simple visual representations that can be easily understood by students. In line with this, the main objective of this quantitative study was to assess the utilization of scatter plot graphs as visual aid in understanding the concepts about geometric sequences among Grade 10 students at Sapang Palay National High School. The researchers employed scatter plot graphing sheets, survey questionnaires, and assessment as their research instruments. From the data collection process, the following results have been drawn: (1) majority of the students displayed high accuracy rates in constructing scatter plot graphs for geometric sequences; (2) based on the students’ survey responses, there were no hindrances in utilizing scatter plot graphs as visual aid in terms of the clarity of instructions and given time duration; and (3) there is a significant difference between the assessment scores of the students who learned geometric sequences through the traditional method and those who utilized the scatter plot graphs as visual aid for geometric sequences. Therefore, the researchers recommend the utilization of scatter plot graphs for visualizing geometric sequences with proper consideration in the clarity of instructions and time given for constructing the graphs.
