Abstract: The implementation of the different learning modalities put in place a mechanism by which instruction and assessment practices are carried out. With the thrust of Mathematics education in the country focused on developing the students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills, the new learning setup called to task the teachers to devise ways by which such learning competencies can be developed or enhance across the different learning modalities using different platforms. Utilizing the results of the pre- and posttest in Mathematics after using problem-based lessons as a strategy, this study looked into the effectiveness of the said strategy in the learning of Mathematics of the Grade 5 learners at Bongar Elementary School during the school year 2021- 2022. Results show that utilizing problem-based learning approach as an instructional technique was effective as it helped improve student outcomes among the Grade 5 learners in Mathematics. Thus, this study recommends that teachers innovate their strategies and instruction in Mathematics with problem-based learning approach. Likewise, teachers, are called to task to exploit the role of problem-based learning approach as s strategy in improving student engagement and student outcomes. Moreover, teachers are also called to bridge the gap in the learning opportunities and mode of delivery by developing alternative methods in aid of creating more effective learning formats in Mathematics for the different learning modalities in the new learning setup.
