Transcripts
good morning everyone today we will
discuss the k-12 curriculum guide in
mathematics
to start we will need to also explain
the k-12 basic education curriculum the
conceptual framework of mathematics
education
mathematics is one subject that pervades
life at any age and 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
so the twin goals of mathematics and the
basic education
levels from k
kindergarten to 10
are critical thinking and problem
solving so this is the very heart of the
mathematics education of the philippines
critical thinking according to scrivden
and paul 1987
is the intellectually disciplined
processes of actively and skillfully
conceptualizing
applying analyzing synthesizing and or
evaluating
information gathered from or generated
by
observation experience reflection
reasoning communication
as a guide to belief and action
so on the other hand
according to polio
mathematical problem solving is finding
a way
around a difficulty
around the process
desirable values
and
attitudes to find a solution to the
problem that is unknown
so 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 into account of
different contexts to the filipino
learners
so there are
five content areas
in the curriculum as adapted in the
framework
prepared by math ed and sei
these are
the number sense and numbers
measurement
geometry
patterns and algebra and probability and
statistics
there are also
specific skills and processes to be
developed in this framework
these are knowing and understanding
estimating computing
and solving
visualizing and modeling
representing and communicating
conjecturing reasoning and proving
and decision making
as well as applying and connecting
so aside from
acquiring the different contents and
developing the different skills we also
need to inculcate the different values
and attitudes
and
these are
accuracy
creativity objectivity perseverance and
productivity
we also recognize
the use of different
mathematical tools necessary in teaching
mathematics
these include manipulative objects
measuring devices
calculators
smartphones computers
and tablet pieces as well as the
internet
we also define
context
as a local or the situation or the set
of conditions of filipino learners that
may influence their study and the use of
mathematics to develop critical thinking
and problem solving skills
these contexts refer to
beliefs environment
language and culture that includes
tradition and practices of the students
as well as the learner's prior knowledge
and experiences
so this is the overall
concept and foundation of the
mathematics education in the philippines
