Abstract: Computational skill is an integral skill necessary in taking Mathematics education. Integrating problem posing as a strategy in teaching mathematics should improve the computational skills of the students. More so, the use of different situations relative to problem posing strategy is a big help to develop the computational skills of the students. To support this, this study focused on the use of a problem-posing strategy in terms of free structured, semi-structured, and structured situations that aimed to determine its effectiveness in improving the computational skill performance of the learners. The study used a quasi-experimental research design in conducting the study which students answered pretest and posttest instruments and were participated by 66 Grade 7 students in the third grading period of the academic year 2022-2023. The result showed a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores performance of the student- respondents which implies that the use of problem posing strategy helped students improve their computational skills. This indicates a significant increase in their performance from developing and competent to proficient in calculation, application, comprehension, and problem-solving. The study suggests providing training and seminars relevant to the use of problem posing strategy in Mathematics education not just for Grade 7 but also in all grade levels of junior high school and senior high school.
