This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of fourteen elementary teachers handling mathematics in the national learning camp and summer class in three public elementary schools in Nabunturan, Division of Davao de Oro. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, analyzed via thematic analysis. The study identified five major themes: challenges in learning and teaching Math, innovative approaches in teaching Math, supporting students with varied learning levels, managing emotions in Math education, and struggles with teaching constraints and resources. Teachers used five coping mechanisms, including creative methods for enhancing student learning and fostering mastery through reinforcement and adaptation. Six insights were also highlighted for improving distance learning modality, such as building resilience in teaching practices and integrating technology and interactive content. The findings provide valuable implications for stakeholders involved in the national learning camp and summer class implementation.
