# Foundations of Mathematics Teaching and Learning in the Philippines This document outlines the principles, roles, and pedagogical strategies for teaching mathematics in the Philippines' K-12 curriculum. ## Roles of Mathematics in Philippine Education * A study of patterns and relationships * A way of thinking * An art * A language * A tool * A gateway for national progress ## Principles in Mathematics Instruction **Principle 1:** Being mathematically competent means more than just computation; it involves the ability to compute and perform algorithms, and using mathematical procedures. **Principle 2:** The physical and social dimensions of a mathematical environment contribute to learning success. **Principle 3:** Students learn mathematics best when actively engaged. **Principle 4:** A deep understanding of mathematics requires a variety of learning tools. **Principle 5:** Assessment in mathematics should focus on understanding student learning, rather than simply testing knowledge. **Principle 6:** Student attitudes and beliefs significantly impact mathematical learning. **Principle 7:** Mathematics learning requires the support of parents and the broader community. ## Cognitive Demands & Values * **Visualization** * **Objectivity** * **Knowing** * **Flexibility and creativity** * **Computing** * **Utility** * **Solving** * **Cultural rootedness** * **Applying** * **Introspection** * **Proving** * **Productive Disposition** ## Mathematical Content * **Numbers and Number Sense:** whole numbers, number theory, fractions, decimals, ratio, proportion, percent * **Measurement:** length, mass, weight, capacity, time, money, temperature, angles, perimeter, area, surface 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 * Constructivist * Inquiry-Based * Reflective * Collaborative * Differentiated * Integrative ## Goal of Mathematics Curriculum To develop the learner's critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
