    Study Notes

    Foundations of Mathematics Teaching and Learning in the Philippines

    • Nature of Mathematics: A study of patterns and relationships. A way of thinking, an art, a language, and a tool for national progress.
    • Roles of Mathematics in Philippine Education: Facilitating participation in productive life skills; a means of communication; a gateway for national progress.
    • Principles in Mathematics Instruction:
      • Principle 1: Being mathematically competent involves more than computation; it includes algorithmic ability and mathematical procedures.
      • Principle 2: Physical and social dimensions of a mathematical environment contribute to learning success.
      • Principle 3: Active engagement of students is key to effective learning.
      • Principle 4: A deep understanding requires varied learning tools.
      • Principle 5: Assessments should focus on understanding student learning, not just results.
      • Principle 6: Student attitudes and beliefs affect their learning.
      • Principle 7: Mathematics learning needs support from parents and community groups.
    • Cognitive Demands: Visualization, knowing, computing, solving.
    • Cognitive Values: Objectivity, flexibility and creativity, utility, cultural rootedness, introspection.
    • Mathematical Content:
      • Numbers and Number Sense: Whole numbers, number theory, fractions, decimals, ratios, and percents.
      • Measurement: Length, mass, weight, capacity, time, money, temperature, angles, perimeter, area, and volume.
      • Geometry: Parallel and perpendicular lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and solid figures (like cubes and prisms).
      • Patterns and Algebra: Continuous and repeating patterns, number sentences, sequences, and simple equations.
      • Statistics and Probability: Bar graphs, line graphs, pie graphs, simple experiments, and experimental probability.
    • Philippine's K-12 Curriculum: Pedagogical strategies include Constructivist, Inquiry-Based, Reflective, Collaborative, Differentiated, and Integrative approaches.
    • Goal of Mathematics Curriculum: To develop learners' critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
