Abstract Worksheets are widely used instructional tools in mathematics, yet many Grade 6 learners continue to experience difficulties in mastering integer concepts. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of developed Mathematics 6 worksheets in enhancing the integer competence of Grade 6 learners at Marangi Elementary School, San Fernando, Camarines Sur, school year 2024-2025. Using a descriptive comparative research design, the study involved nineteen Grade 6 learners who were given a teacher made pre test and post test covering five domains of integer competence: operations on integers, sets of integers and real life applications, describing and interpreting operations on integers, comparing integers with other numbers, and arranging integers on the number line. The intervention consisted of validated, Most Essential Learning Competencies aligned worksheets implemented over a five week period. Descriptive statistics and a paired samples t test were used to analyze the data. Results revealed that learners’ mean score significantly increased from the pre test to the post test, with a statistically significant difference between the two measures. The computed effect size indicated a very large instructional impact, demonstrating that the worksheet intervention substantially improved learners’ integer competence. The study conclude that well designed, validated worksheets are an effective instructional and remediation tool for enhancing integer competence among Grade 6 learners and are recommended for sustained use in mathematics instruction.
