Module 3 SPEC 102
Module 3 SPEC 102
Discussion:
Mathematics is a very important subject. Its use cannot be understated. It pervades life at any age and in any
circumstances. Hence, its value goes beyond the classroom and the school. Because of this reason, mathematics, as a
school and skills subject, has to be learned comprehensively and with depth.
In K to 3, mathematics is taught using the mother tongue as the medium of instruction. In this module we will
know common terms in mathematics and lesson plan exemplars.
We will begin by knowing the twin goals of the mathematics curriculum in the basic education levels which
are critical thinking and problem solving.
These two goals are to be achieved through the following:
1. An organized and rigorous curriculum content
2. A well-defined set of high- level skills and processes
3. Desirable values and attitudes
4. Appropriate tools
5. Different contexts of Filipino learners
There are five content areas in the curriculum which was adapted from the framework prepared by
MATHTED and SEI (2010)
1. Numbers and number sense as a strand include concepts of numbers, properties, operations, estimation
and their applications.
2. Measurement as a strand includes the use of numbers and measures to describe, understand, and compare
mathematical and concrete objects. It focuses on attributes such as length, mass and weight, capacity,
time, money and temperature, as well as applications involving perimeter, area, surface area, volume and
angle measure.
3. Geometry as a strand includes properties of two-and-three dimensional figures and their relationships,
spatial visualization, reasoning and geometric modeling and proofs.
4. Patterns and algebra as a strand studies patterns, relationships and changes among shapes and quantities. It
includes the use of algebraic notations and symbols, equations and most importantly, functions, to
represent and analyze relationships.
5. Probability and statistics as a strand is all about developing skills in collecting and organizing data using
charts, tables and graphs; understanding, analyzing and interpreting data; dealing with uncertainty;
making predictions about outcomes.

Moreover, the new mathematics curriculum sees to it that there is continuity in learning from K to Grade 10. This is
because spiral progression is observed in the introduction of topics.
INTENSIFY LEARNING
After knowing the standards, let us anchor on them as we look at a lesson plan exemplar.

Science literacy is the focus of the new K to 12 curriculum. Although science utilizes global language like
English, starting learning with the mother tongue for conceptual understanding in the early grades has more
advantages. Science becomes more relevant and meaningful because it will relate with the context of the learners. It
will connect meaningfully to the social, health and environmental concepts that are the foundations of early grades
learning.
In Kindergarten, science will be taught as part of the total development of the learners. Activities for all areas
of development will include science. While in Grade 1 and Grade 2, science concepts are embedded in subjects like
Mathematics, Araling Panlipunan, Music, Arts and Physical Education which will be taught in mother tongue.
Elementary Science will be taken as a separate subject in Grade 3 and will still use mother tongue as a medium of
instruction with gradual transition into English.
There will be four lessons in this module.
Lesson 1: Looking into Science in K to 3 with Mother Tongue as a Medium for Teaching and Learning
Lesson 2: Using the Common Science Terms and Concepts in the Mother Tongue to Teach and Learn
Lesson 3: The Science Process Skills for Learning and Teaching
Lesson 4: Getting Ready to Teach: Preparing the Lesson Plan
The K to 12 Science Curriculum of the Department of Education provide all teacher a guide for all teachers.
It underscores and recognizes how important science is, in the everyday life of human beings. Science integrates
technology in the social, economic, personal and ethical aspects of life. There are various concerns that science may
contribute in their solution. Some examples are hunger and food, climate change, population, pollution, weather
disturbances, and many more.
As a framework the Department of Education presents a conceptual diagram of what science education in the
Philippines is all about .

PROF. NIDA G. COLONA
SPEC 102 – Content and Pedagogy for the Mother Tongue Module 3
The diagram reveals that the ultimate aim of science is scientific, technological and environmental literacy. These can
be achieved if the learners can: 1) demonstrate scientific inquiry skills; 2) understand and apply scientific knowledge;
and 3) demonstrate scientific attitudes and values through different ways of delivery which are based on sound
learning theories.
1. Multi/inter disciplinary Approach
2. Science Technology, Society Approach
3. Problem Issue Based Learning
4. Inquiry – based Approach
5. Brain- based Learning
The recent learning theories which serve as bases for the different teaching methodologies include among others
Constructivism, Social Cognition Learning Model and Learning Style theory.
According to the DepEd guidelines, learners are science literate if they are:
1. Critical problem solves
2. Responsible stewards of nature
3. Innovative and creative citizens
4. Informed decision makers
5. Effective communicator
Science topics in the K to 12 Curriculum follow a spiral progression from basic concepts to more complicated
ones in the four areas, namely: Life Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Science. There are reasons why spiral
progression is used and these are:
1. To avoid disjunction between stages of schooling
2. To allow learners to learn topics and skills appropriate to their developmental stages.
3. To strengthen the retention and mastery of topics and skills as they are revisited and consolidated.
A set of standard competencies support the framework and the learning progression in science learning. Let us see
how the competencies progress along Kindergarten, Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3.
Kindergarten The learners will demonstrate an emerging understanding of the parts of their body
and their general functions; plants, animals and varied materials in their
environment. Understanding of their bodies and what is around them is acquired
through exploration, questioning and careful observation as they infer patterns,
similarities and differences that will allow them to make sound conclusions.
Grade 1 At the end of Grade 1, the learners will use their senses to locate and describe the
external parts of their body; to identify, external parts of animals and plants; to tell
shape, color, texture, taste and size of things around them; to describe the weather
and what to do in different situations; to use appropriate terms or vocabulary to
describe these features;to collect, sort, count, draw,take things apart or make
something out of the things; to practice healthy habits (e.g., washing hands properly,
choosing nutritious food) and safety measures (e.g., helping to clean or pack away
toys, asking questions and giving simple answers/ descriptions to probing
questions).

PROF. NIDA G. COLONA
SPEC 102 – Content and Pedagogy for the Mother Tongue Module 3
Grade 2 at the end of Grade 2, learners will use their senses to explore and describe the
functions of their senses, compare two or more subjects and using two or more
properties, sort things in different ways and give a reason for doing so.,describe the
kind of weather or certain events in the home or school and express how these are
effecting them, do simple measurements of length, tell why some things around
them are important, decide if what they do is safe or dangerous ;give suggestions on
how to prevent accidents at home, practice electricity, water and paper conservation,
help take acre of pets or of plants and tell short stories about what they do, what they
have seen or what they feel.
Grade 3 At the end of Grade 3, the learners can describe the functions of the different parts
of the body and things that make up their surroundings- rocks and soil, plants and
animals, the Sun, Moon and Stars. They can also classify these things as solid, liquid
or gas. They can describe how objects move and what makes them move. They can
also identify sources and describe uses of light, heat, sound and electricity. Learners
can describe changes in the conditions of their surroundings. These would lead
learners to become more curious about their surroundings, appreciate nature and
practice health and safety measures.
The science concepts are learned and process skills are acquired through the various activities carried out in the
classroom. A well planned lesson plan is a tool that will help the teacher facilitate and conduct them.
