The Department of Education commits to providing quality education in the new normal delivery of learning. To materialize this thrust, Matti Elementary School adopted modular distance learning to provide learning continuity and make learning accessible to all learners. Learning activity sheets were distributed to learners yet children returned unaccomplished exercises, especially in Mathematics 6. Hence, action research was used to address the issue and explore the modular experiences of children. The threeminute habit was employed as a strategy to help the 10 passive learners improve their performance in Math. This technique utilized instructional videos focusing on Concrete, Pictorial, and Abstract (CPA) schemes to enhance the problem-solving skills of struggling participants. These key informants were purposely chosen to receive the video clips for 9 weeks in the third quarter, School Year 2021-2022. They also participated in the interviews. Responses were recorded and analyzed to create ideas. For the question of how CPA using three-minute instructional videos improve learners’ problem-solving skills, the following themes emerged: localizing video lessons, modeling Math skills, simplifying targets, demonstrating abstracts, developing a positive attitude towards computation, and enhancing critical thinking skills.
