Abstract : This study presents how communication and mathematical skills predict students’ entrepreneurial management performance. This study aimed to identify the level of communication and mathematical skills in terms of symbol use, intent, complexity, social action, vocabulary use, and comprehension; conceptual, computational, and problem- solving skills, respectively; and explored their relationships with students’ entrepreneurial management performance. This is quantitative research where two research instruments were utilized such as the adopted survey questionnaire for communication skills and the researcher-made test questionnaire for students' mathematical skills. The research participants were second-year BSBA students at an identified private school in Molave, Zamboanga del Sur, for the academic year 2021-2022. Universal sampling was also used to gather significant data. Findings revealed that the levels of students’ communication skills, mathematical skills, and entrepreneurial management performance are good, average, and approaching proficiency respectively, and a significant relationship existed between communication and mathematical skills towards students’ entrepreneurial management performance which signified that communication and mathematical skills are predictors of students’ entrepreneurial management performance. It was concluded that communication and mathematical skills were significantly correlated with students' entrepreneurial management performance. As the students' communication and mathematical skills increase, students' entrepreneurial management performance also increases and vice versa. This study suggests that teachers are encouraged to help and motivate the students to enhance and improve their communication and mathematical skills and integrate relevant concepts about entrepreneurial skills for life sustainability.

Keywords : Communication Skills, Mathematical Skills, Entrepreneurial Management Performance.
