10 uses no technical jargon, is brief and specific and cites no references. It
11 should consist of a maximum of 100 words. The quality of an abstract
12 will strongly influence the reviewer’s grading/evaluation to the paper.

17 1. INTRODUCTION
18 The poor performance of students in mathematics has been a
19 cause of concern for many. Numerous experts proposed several solutions
20 to this problem, yet the problem persisted, believing that poor knowledge
21 in basic mathematics among students is the key root to the problem
22 (Gningue, Menil and Fuchs, 2014). One of these basic foundational
23 knowledge and skills is the integers, a necessary prerequisite skill to
24 solve equations. Therefore, students may struggle to solve questions that
25 require the calculation of integers if they are still uncertain about the
26 concept behind the sign rules of integers (Rubin, Marcelino, Mortel &
27 Lapinid, 2014).
28 In the Program for International Students Assessment (PISA) 2018
29 and 2022, the Philippines ranked second and sixth from the bottom,
30 respectively. Filipino students achieved an average score in Mathematical
31 Literacy that was significantly lower than the Organization for Economic
32 Co-operation and Development (OECD) (Department of Education, 2019,
33 PISA 2022). In another international test, the 2019 report of the Trends
34 in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the
35 Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) Program 2019 Main
36 Regional Report revealed students obtained low scores that concludes
37 Philippines is falling behind in mathematics compared to other countries
38 (UNESCO Bangkok). From these international results, we can conclude
39 that there is a poor numeracy skills in the country and one of the
40 reasons is poor knowledge in basic mathematics which includes integers.
41 One problem that students are facing when dealing with integers is
42 that they are confused with signs and operations of the integers, which
43 make them struggle in computing the integers (Rubin, Marcelino, Mortel
44 & Lapinid, 2015). Mathematics teachers of public school in the
45 Philippines revealed that based on the result of the interview during the
46 home visitation and the result of the summative test, most of the grade 7
47 students have insufficient knowledge in some learning content and
48 competencies which are included in Number and Number Sense most
49 especially in adding integers (Ni Chong, Shahrill Asamoah & Latif, 2022).
50 This is the reason why the students are having a hard time learning or
51 understanding other related learning competencies in other branches of
52 mathematics in all grade levels.

53 However, in this increasingly digital era, gamified and tutorial-
54 based integration can be best fit to help learners learn in an interactive
55 and engaging way which can provide them strategies to retain
56 information better. Results showed in the study of Madsen and
57 Levasseur et al (2018) that gamification significantly increased students’
58 motivation, engagement, and academic performance in mathematics. It
59 was particularly effective in enhancing knowledge acquisition and
60 retention (Sailer et al. (2017). Specifically, the study of Ni Chong, Shahrill
61 Asamoah & Latif (2022) implemented a non-digital card game
62 significantly improved the performance of students in the operations of
63 integers. Additional approached is the tutorial-based class integration.
64 The study of Rong-Jyue Fang (2017) suggests that tutorial-based
65 integration can enhance learners mathematical learning. Results showed
66 in the study of Yu-Wei Lin et al. (2020) that learners who received
67 tutorial-based integration instruction had significantly higher
68 achievement scores compared to those who received traditional
69 instruction. Thus, gamified and tutorial-based integration is a great help
70 to learners in improving their academic performance in mathematics.
71 The results of the numeracy test administered by mathematics
72 teachers to Quirino General High School students indicate that non-STE
73 students in grade 7 performed poorly, specifically the grade 7 Rizal.
74 Thus, this study aims to integrate gamified and tutorial-based approach
75 and examine its effectiveness on learners’ academic performance in
76 addition of integers, which assumes that the learners improve their
77 solving abilities not only in integers but in related learning competencies
78 in other branches of mathematics.
