This also assessed the significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores of the students. Moreover, the researcher used the descriptive and pre-experimental research design among the 82 grade 7 students. Validated pretest and posttest questionnaires revolved around the topic of operations of polynomials and were scored using a rubric. Survey questionnaires were also given to students on the perception of the students using games and puzzles as recreational activities. Frequency, percentage distribution, independent t-test, and paired t-test were utilized to statistically analyze the data. Findings revealed that there is a significant difference in the posttest scores of respondents in skill algorithm, properties principles, and used and application skills when tested to p < .05. However, there is no significant relationship between the perception of the students on the use of content-based recreational activities to understanding skills of the students. The research recommended using the recreational activity plan, especially the content-based recreational activity strategy, to improve the Mathematical Understanding Skills such as skill-algorithm skills and properties principle skills of the students.
