Abstract: The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the integration of physical activity as a supplement to the mastery of lessons in Plane and Solid Geometry of the First year BSEd Mathematics students of Batangas State University ARASOF-Nasugbu. Moreover, the study also aims to determine the effect of physical activity on students’ class participation, motivation, and concept retention. This study was conducted using a mixed method research design which employs both quantitative research and qualitative research to achieve the main objective of the study. To gather data, the researchers employed survey questionnaires, pre-test/post-test, and focus group discussions. The gathered quantitative data was computed using T-testing, weighted mean, and ranking while the gathered quantitative data was analysed through transcribing and coding. The result of the research study showed that integration of physical activity has a positive effect on students’ class participation, motivation, and concept retention. Moreover, the results revealed that the respondents viewed Zumba, drill/games, and body demonstration as a good supplement for their mastery of the lesson. Furthermore, the increase of the scores of the experimental group from pre-test to post-test and the greater mean they gained compared to the controlled group upon integrating physical activity has been a manifestation that the physical activity was an effective supplement to the mastery of the lesson in Plane and Solid Geometry. In accordance with the results and findings, the study also revealed that the development of a learning plan that highlights the integration of the physical activity on the course must be created. Moreover, this study suggests that physical activity should be considered by the faculty members on writing their course syllabi and for the future researcher to assess the integration of physical activity in more abstract mathematics courses.
