The primary goal of this study is to present an assessment on the level of mathematical ability of the engineering and accountancy students in TIP Manila. Specifically, this study attempted to determine the profile of the student-respondents in terms of age, gender, course, type of high school graduated from, and high school grade point average. It was endeavored to assess the mathematical ability of the engineering and accountancy students in TIP Manila in terms of number sense skills, solving numerical problems skills, measurement and estimation skills, data analysis and probability skills, and manipulating polynomial expressions and solving equation skills. Furthermore, this study tried to determine if there is significant difference that exists between the pretest mean and posttest mean on the levels of mathematical ability of the engineering and accountancy students in TIP Manila in terms of number sense skills, solving numerical problems skills, measurement and estimation skills, data analysis and probability skills, and manipulating polynomial expressions and solving equation skills.
The data was limited to the assessment of the respondents composed of fifty-nine engineering and fifty-nine accountancy students. In addition, the statistical treatment of the data made use of simple descriptive statistics like frequency counts, percentage, pretest and posttest, and t-test in determining the significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean on the levels of mathematical ability of the engineering and accountancy students of TIP Manila in terms of number sense skills, solving numerical problems, skills, measurement and estimation skills, data analysis and probability skills, and manipulating polynomials expressions and solving equation skills.
