The study was a quasi-experimental type of research intended to find the effectiveness of the use of Physics Education Technology (PhET) simulations in teaching linear equations. These lessons were part of the Mathematics 8 curriculum of the Department of Education. The evaluators in this study were Math teachers from the public junior high school in Cluster 1, Division of Pampanga. Thus, they had an evaluation on the teacher-made test which served as the main instrument to gather participants� performance. The gathered data were tabulated, analyzed and were subjected for interpretation using frequency counts, percentages, mean and standard deviation. The study revealed that participants improved their performances on the linear equations after their exposure to PhET simulations and Conventional teaching. Significant differences from their pretests and posttests scores were obtained by the participants of both groups. Also, it was found out that there was no significant difference on the PhET simulations and conventional teaching pretests scores while there was a significant difference in their posttests scores. The results of this study show that the use of PhET simulation in learning the linear equations improved the performance of the participants.
