Peer- pair tutoring refers to a flexible grouping strategy where a student that excels academically is paired with a struggling student to reinforce motivation in learning mathematics. The study utilized a one-shot case study design to assess the outcomes of the peer- pair tutoring intervention on grade 8 students’ mathematics motivation in geometry. The researchers used paired sample T-test as a statistical tool. Moreover, a matrix-formed close- ended questionnaire was utilized as the instrument in gathering students’ mathematics motivation. The instrument used was pilot tested by Fiorella, Yoon, Atit, Power, & Panther (2021) with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.85. Furthermore, the result of the study implies that the level of Grade 8 students’ mathematics motivation is relatively high. However, the integration of Peer- Pair Tutoring does not improve the mathematics motivation of Grade 8 students in Geometry. While peer tutoring has proven to be a valuable educational tool in many contexts (Lim 2014), including mathematics education, its effectiveness in improving students’ motivation towards mathematics can be influenced by various factors.
