Several researches attempt to improve the performance in addition and subtraction of fraction by focusing on students’ understanding, such as applying fraction tiles manipulatives and number line in the teaching, or using visual aids such as area model and drawings or virtual diagrams. Similarly, few studies focus on adopting simple procedures that will facilitate students in attempting the topic. Butterfly Method is an approach that not only simplifies the pedagogical approach of learning addition and subtraction of fraction, but also indirectly promotes students’ conceptual understanding in the topic. Yet this approach is not commonly practiced in Brunei.  This action research employed quantitative approach involving fourty-one Year 9 IGCSE level students from a government secondary school in Brunei Darussalam. The study aimed to investigate the effect on applying Butterfly Method in the learning of addition and subtraction of fraction through pre-test and post-test.  The study revealed a significant improvement in students’ performance through Wilcoxon Signed rank test (Z = 4.2332, p-value < 0.05), with large effect size (r = 0.6611). This is also supported with the improvement of the overall mark distribution of students from pre-test to post-test, with Hake’s normalised gain values indicated majority of the participants achieved high (56.1%), medium (7.32%) and low (2.44%) improvements. Item analysis also indicated overall improvement of correct attempts in questions related to addition and subtraction of fraction, most apparently on fraction problems involving denominators not multiple of each other, improper fractions and mixed numbers. Thus, applying Butterfly Method significantly improved the overall students’ performance in the learning of addition and subtraction of fractions.

Introduction: Generally, core stability exercise as a training program is needed in almost kind of sport including paddle, analysis of movement in any kind of paddle sport such as kayak, canoe, or even rowing have been showed that the activity of core stability muscles are really needed. Purpose: purpose of this research is to know the effectivity of core stability exercise replenishment to increase sculling speed in paddle training program. Methods: This research is experimental with treatment by subject design project, involving 15 paddle athletes which divided into two groups and consists of II periods which are, Period I and Period II. In the 1st period, the athletes were given extra core stability exercise along with their normal paddling routine mean while in the 2nd period, the athletes only doing their normal paddling routine. Each period do the trial in 6 weeks, so this reseach took 12 weeks. In 1st period, the subjects were given extra core stability training 3 times a week along with their normal paddling routine where as subjects in period II only do their normal paddling routine. Results: The used of parametric paired t test is to know the difference of sculling speed before and after the trials were given. To period I pre test value is 3.80 ± 0.26 meters/second while the post test value is 4.06 ± 0.41 meters/second and the value 0.001 (p<0.05)mean while the 2nd period use Wilcoxon signed rank test to know the difference of sculling speed between before and after the trial were given resulting pre test value 3.80 ± 0.22 meters/second and post test value 3.91 ± 0.27 meters/second while the p value is 0.004 (p<0.05). After 12 weeks of sculling speed test between both period using Wilcoxon signed rank test and resulting obvions with period I value 0.26 ± 0.20 meters/second and period II value is 0.11 ± 0.12 meters/second along with p value 0.001 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Therefore, based on the result of my research test, we can concluded that the addition of core stability exercise in paddle training program is more effective to increase sculling speed.
