MATHEMATICS
(Grade 1to Grade 10)
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Mathematics is one subject that pervades life at any age, in any circumstance. Thus, its value goes beyond the classroom and the school.
Mathematics as a school subject, therefore, must be learned comprehensively and with much depth.
The twin goals of mathematics in the basic education levels, K-10 are Critical Thinking and Problem Solving. We adopt the definition of critical thinking
by Scriven and Paul (1987):
Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating
information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.
On the other hand, we define Problem Solving in mathematics using Polya’s (1945 & 1962) definition:
Mathematical problem solving is finding a way around a difficulty, around an obstacle, and finding a solution to a problem that is unknown.
These two goals are to be achieved with an organized and rigorous curriculum content, a well-defined set of high-level skills and processes, desirable
values and attitudes, and appropriate tools, recognizing as well the different contexts of Filipino learners.
There are five content areas in the curriculum, as adopted from the framework prepared by MATHTED & SEI (2010): Numbers and Number Sense,
Measurement, Geometry, Patterns and Algebra, and Probability and Statistics.
The specific skills and processes to be developed are: Knowing and Understanding; Estimating, Computing and Solving; Visualizing and Modelling;
Representing and Communicating; Conjecturing, Reasoning, Proving and Decision-making, and: Applying and Connecting.
The following values and attitudes are to be honed as well: Accuracy, Creativity, Objectivity, Perseverance, and Productivity.
We recognize that the use of appropriate tools is needed in teaching mathematics. These include: manipulative objects, measuring devices,
calculators and computers, Smartphones and tablet PCs, and the Internet.
We define context as a locale, situation or set of conditions of Filipino learners that may influence their study and use of mathematics to develop critical
thinking and problem solving skills. Contexts refer to beliefs, environment, language and culture that include traditions and practices, and learner’s prior
knowledge and experiences.
The framework is supported by the following underlying learning principles and theories: Experiential and Situated Learning, Reflective Learning,
Constructivism, Cooperative Learning and Discovery and Inquiry-based Learning. The mathematics curriculum is grounded in these theories.
Experiential learning as advocated by David Kolb is learning that occurs by making sense of direct everyday experiences. Experiential learning
theory defines learning as "the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the combination of
grasping and transforming experience" (Kolb, 1984, p. 41). Situated learning, theorized by Lave and Wenger, is learning in the same context on which
concepts and theories are applied.
Reflective learning refers to learning that is facilitated by reflective thinking. It is not enough that learners encounter real-life situations. Deeper
learning occurs when learners are able to think about their experiences and process these allowing them the opportunity to make sense and meaning of their
experiences.
Constructivism is the theory that argues that knowledge is constructed when the learner is able to draw ideas from his own experiences and connects
them to new ideas that are encountered.
Cooperative Learning puts premium on active learning achieved by working with fellow learners as they all engage in a shared task.
The mathematics curriculum allows for students to learn by asking relevant questions and discovering new ideas. Discovery and Inquiry-based
learning (Bruner, 1961) support the idea that students learn when they make use of personal experiences to discover facts, relationships and concepts.
Mathematics from K-10 is a skills subject. By itself, it is all about quantities, shapes and figures, functions, logic and reasoning. Mathematics is also a
tool of science and a language complete with its own notations and symbols and “grammar” rules, with which concepts and ideas are effectively expressed.
The contents of mathematics include Numbers and Number Sense, Measurement, Geometry, Patterns & Algebra and Statistics and Probability.
Numbers and Number Sense as a strand includes concepts of numbers, properties, operations, estimation and their applications.
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 among others, as well as applications involving perimeter,
area, surface area, volume and angle measure.
Geometry as a strand includes properties of two- and three-dimensional figures and their relationships, spatial visualization, reasoning and geometric
modeling and proofs.
Patterns and Algebra as a strand studies patterns, relationships and changes among shapes and quantities and includes the use of algebraic
notations and symbols, equations and most importantly, functions, to represent and analyze relationships.
Statistics and Probability 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 and making predictions and outcomes.
The K to 10 Mathematics Curriculum provides a solid foundation for Mathematics at Grades 11 to 12. More importantly, it provides necessary
concepts and life skills needed by Filipino learners as they proceed to the next stage in their life as learners and as citizens of our beloved country, the
Philippines.
