EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The study determined the Readiness in Teaching Algebra of Fourth Year Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics. This was conducted at University of Rizal System-Morong Campus during the school year 2017-2018. The respondents were the eighteen (18) BSE-Math students. Mean was used to determine the level of performance and extent of readiness of the respondents in teaching Algebra as revealed by the test and perceived by themselves with respect to the different lessons in Grade 10 while Pearson-r was used to find out the significant relationship between the level of performance and extent of readiness of the respondents in teaching Algebra in Grade 10 as exposed by the test and perceived by themselves with respect to different lessons. The researchers made use of descriptive correlational as their research design. Questionnaire checklist and adapted test in Algebra for Grade 10 were used as the instrument of the study. After having it validated, they administered their instrument to the respondents. On the level of performance of the respondents in Algebra in Grade 10 with respect to different lessons, the study revealed that their performance in Arithmetic Sequence is verbally interpreted as Outstanding; Geometric Sequence, Division of Polynomials and Polynomial Functions as Very Satisfactory, Remainder and Factor Theorem and Polynomial Equations as Satisfactory. Likewise, the respondents are Very Much Ready with respect to different competencies; Arithmetic Sequence, Geometric Sequence, Division of Polynomials, Remainder and Factor Theorem, Polynomial Equations and Polynomial Functions. On the significant relationship between the level of performance and extent of readiness of the respondents in teaching algebra in Grade 10 as revealed by the test and as perceived by the themselves with respect to different lessons and competencies in Grade 10, there is no significant relationship between the level of performance of Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics and their readiness in teaching Algebra with respect to geometric sequence, division of polynomials, remainder and factor theorem, polynomial equations and polynomial functions since the obtained p-values are greater than 0.05 level of significance hence the null hypothesis is failed to reject. On the other hand, there is significant relationship in the lesson arithmetic sequence since the computed p-value is less than 0.05 level of significance, thus, the null hypothesis is rejected. It concluded that the level of performance of the respondents are "Very Satisfactory" in teaching Algebra in Grade 10 as revealed by the test and "Very Much Ready" as perceived by themselves. Also, Arithmetic Sequence is found to be the strength of the BSE-MATH students while Remainder and Factor Theorem and Polynomial Equation are their weaknesses. The following recommendations are hereby offered: Provide In-campus practice teaching to enhance the level of performance of Fourth Year Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics Students; The college should continue on providing trainings and seminars for the pre-service teachers in mathematics that serve as preparation to enhance their skills and knowledge to the field of teaching; Related studies considering other variables and groups of respondents are highly suggested.
