Munda, 2Jane Rose H. Endrinal & 3Michelle C. Nequinto  \nAbstract  \nMathematics requires both comprehension and competence, which, once developed, benefit learners in daily life. This descriptive-correlational and explanatory study filled the gap by determining the mediating effect of vocabulary skills on the relationship between comprehension abilities and mathematics performance of 146 grade 7 students, chosen through multi-stage sampling techniques, in two select schools in Cabuyao City, Philippines, in 2024–2025. The respondents answered valid and reliable instruments with ethical considerations. The study used weighted mean, standard deviation, multiple regression bootstrap technique, mediated regression bootstrap technique, and PLS-SEM. The outcomes showed high levels of mathematics vocabulary skills and reading comprehension abilities, while mathematics performance reached satisfactory levels among the students. Multiple regression bootstrap technique revealed mathematics vocabulary as the most important factor affecting students' mathematics performance, while reading comprehension abilities have no direct significant effect with the presence of mathematics vocabulary. Furthermore, mediated regression bootstrap technique and PLS-SEM displayed a significant total effect of reading comprehension abilities on mathematics performance and the indirect effect flowing through mathematics vocabulary skills was significant. Mathematical vocabulary skills entirely mediate the indirect effect of reading comprehension abilities on mathematics performance exemplifying full mediation. It suggests that mathematics vocabulary skills are essential in enhancing reading comprehension abilities, thereby reinforcing their crucial role in academic achievement. Educators are encouraged to integrate vocabulary-focused strategies, administrators to support professional development in math literacy, and local officials to fund programs that strengthen foundational language skills in mathematics.  \nKeywords: mathematics vocabulary skills, reading comprehension abilities, mathematics performance, mediating effect, SEM  \nArticle History:  \nReceived: April 13, 2025  \nAccepted: May 20, 2025  \nRevised: May 18, 2025  \nPublished online: May 31, 2025  \nSuggested Citation:  \nMunda, N.P., Endrinal, J.R.H. & Nequinto, M.C.

Once acquired, these competencies become advantageous in their everyday lives. However, the recent mathematics performance of Filipino students has been exceedingly concerning.
