THE SHAPE OF THE
GRADES 1 TO 10 MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM
Mathematics is a powerful means of identification, description, and application of patterns and relationships; generalization;
and communication. It provides opportunities for challenge, creativity, and users’ recognition and appreciation of the nature, beauty
and power of mathematical processes, strategies, and reasoning.
The successful study of mathematics in Grades 1 to 10 is a key component of Filipino learners’ preparation for life in the 21st
century. For full participation in society, learners need to develop sound mathematical knowledge, skills, and understanding for
making informed decisions and for solving problems in a variety of contexts relevant to their daily lives.
Historically, mathematics arose from necessity of the human society, with real-world problems giving birth to its existence,
emphasizing problem solving at its core. In schools, mathematics serves as an ideal training ground, fostering the problem-solving
ability learners.
Additionally, in this age of scientific and technological innovations, being “numerate” is crucial for engaging in various
endeavors. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) defines numeracy as “the ability to access, use,
interpret, and communicate mathematical information and ideas, in order to engage in and manage the mathematics demands of a
range of situations in adult life.”
“Numeracy, a significant ancillary to problem solving, relates to a high proportion of the mathematics content of the Grades 1
to 10 Mathematics curriculum. Learners become increasingly ‘numerate’ as they develop the confidence and ability to:
• choose and use mathematics effectively in its application to situations that arise in their life at home, at work, and in the
community; and
• apply, evaluate, and communicate their mathematical thinking.

Development of the Curriculum
Curriculum Goals
The main goal of the curriculum is for Filipino learners to become mathematically proficient and critical problem solvers.
The development of mathematical proficiency among learners involves the development of confidence and competence in
different aspects of mathematics and includes becoming increasingly aware of the value and usefulness of mathematics.
According to Polya (1981), problem solving is “finding a way out of a difficulty, a way around an obstacle, attaining an aim
which was not immediately attainable” (p. ix). Further, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), (2000) asserts that
“solving problems is not only a goal of learning mathematics but also a major means of doing so” (p. 52).
In mathematics education, problem solving has been considered as a goal, as a process, and as a basic skill. The processes
involved in solving mathematical problems, from recognizing and understanding a problem, to modelling the problem through different
representations, to planning a solution, to executing the solution, and to finally checking whether the problem has been solved,
demonstrate that problem solving is a very important life skill for 21st-century citizens to possess.
Theoretical and Philosophical Bases
Mathematics is a diverse discipline. With its universal applicability, it finds widespread use in various fields of endeavor,
especially in solving real-world problems. It is essential that learners be mathematically proficient and critical thinkers to effectively
tackle such problems.
Effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn, and then challenging and
supporting them to learn it well. It also requires knowing and understanding mathematics, students as learners, and pedagogical
strategies (NCTM, 2000).
The teaching practices recommended by NCTM are grounded in views of knowledge, learning, and teaching informed by a
constructivist perspective (e.g., Ball & Bass; Confrey, 1991; Gelman, 1994; Smith, diSessa & Roschelle, 1993). Teaching mathematics
through constructivist methods allows students to deepen their knowledge beyond rote memorization, to develop meaningful contexts,
and to take charge of the learning process as active participants rather than mere observers (WGU, 2020). These constructivist
theories point to active learning, cognitive development in the context of social interaction, and conceptual understanding as critical
in the teaching of mathematics.

of 68
Piaget’s theory of cognitive development (1977) states that all knowledge is constructed, and the instrument of instruction
includes cognitive structures that themselves are products of continued construction. In the preoperational stage, Piaget suggests
that elementary school children need concrete objects, pictures, actions, and symbols to develop a deep understanding of
mathematical concepts. In addition, Bruner concurs that conceptual learning begins from active engagement or experiences with
concrete tasks (‘enactive’), moves towards perceptual images (‘iconic’), and then to abstract (‘symbolic’) representations (Bruner, 1966).
For instance, when teaching addition with regrouping for obtaining, for example, 8 + 6, Grade 1 learners should move blocks in two
groups to act out the idea of using part of one addend so that the other addend will become a complete “ten.” This hands-on approach
views numbers as quantities and not mere numerals, and progresses to pictorial representation of the same problem type. Learners’
advancement leads to mental visualization and application of manipulations to abstract problems. Thus, the ultimate objective of
mathematics education, as outlined in the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) Model, is to guide learners towards
representations and operations that involve abstract symbols (Hui et al., 2017).
Vygotsky (1978), on the other hand, states that an individual cannot develop without interacting with the environment as
emphasized in his zone of proximal development. By incorporating this theory into their teaching practices, teachers can tailor
strategic instructional plans for groups or individual learners at various developmental stages. By effectively connecting complex
material to familiar concepts, teachers can offer appropriate scaffolding such as strategic social interactions, tailored learning
experiences, and instructions aligned with a learner’s prior performance, intuition, and current thought processes. This improves the
learner’s ability to make sense of new situations, build on prior knowledge, and transfer learning. In teaching mathematics, these
strategic instructional plans include the use of manipulatives, games, models, partial solutions, or making use of contextual problems
based on the learner’s interest.
Meanwhile, Glasersfeld (1987) claims that knowledge is not passively received but actively built up by the cognizing individual
and thus, knowledge is the result of a self-organized cognitive process. This suggests that all knowledge is constructed rather than
perceived through the senses. For instance, learning multiplication is not just about memorizing the multiplication facts, but it is
also important for learners to understand the concepts underlying multiplication. Learners who lack understanding of fundamental
concepts are more likely to struggle with higher-order thinking.
The use of representations in mathematics helps to demonstrate a learner’s thinking. Whether these representations are
concrete or abstract, they help them analyze the problem at hand, formulate an idea, and extend their reasoning. The NCTM
Standards (2000) include that curriculum should emphasize that learners create and use representations to organize, record, and
communicate mathematical ideas; select, apply, and translate mathematical representations to solve problems; and use
representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena (cited in Fennell & Rowan, 2001).

Curriculum Framework
The framework designed for the revised Mathematics curriculum for Grades 1 to 10 guides teachers in their preparation of
mathematically rich lessons and helps them in working towards the main curriculum goal.
To achieve the main goal, three facilitating facets have been developed: content, skills, and disposition.
The three facilitating facets are further reinforced by three supporting components: pedagogy, assessment, and resources, with
each of these being relevant to the learning context, the curriculum content, and the learning phases of the learners.
Figure 1 shows the diagrammatic representation of the framework designed for the revised curriculum.
Figure 1. The Revised Grades 1 – 10 Mathematics Curriculum Framework
Through the teaching and learning of the revised curriculum, it is also intended that learners exhibit the qualities emanating
from the five intertwining strands of mathematical proficiency as defined by the National Research Council (NRC, 2001).

of 68
These strands are:
• Conceptual Understanding – comprehension of mathematical concepts, operations, and relations;
• Procedural Fluency – skill in carrying out procedures flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately;
• Strategic Competence – ability to formulate, represent, and solve mathematical problems;
• Adaptive Reasoning – capacity for logical thought, reflection, explanation, and justification; and
• Productive Disposition – habitual inclination to see mathematics as sensible, useful, and worthwhile, coupled with a belief in
diligence and one’s own efficacy (p. 116).
These intertwining strands of mathematical proficiency are also covered in the SEAMEO Basic Education Standards (SEA-
BES): Common Core Regional Learning Standards (CCRLS) in Mathematics and Science (2017). The SEA-BES CCRLS refers to: (1)
cultivating basic human characters through mathematical values, attitudes and habits of mind; (2) developing creative human capital
and process skills; and (3) the importance of knowledge of mathematics in cultivating well-qualified citizens.
Facione and Gittens (2016) define critical thinking as “the process of purposeful, reflective judgment” (p. 386). They further
asserted that “the critical thinking process applies cognitive skills of interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and
self-regulation in an effort to judge what to believe or what to do” (p. 36).
The revised Mathematics curriculum will aim to develop among learners’ proficiency in solving mathematical problems
critically, grounded in strong conceptual knowledge, strategic use of mathematical skills and processes, and desirable values and
disposition in mathematics, thus assisting them to become productive and successful 21st-century citizens.
The Facilitating Facets
The three facilitating facets for achieving the curriculum goal of the Grades 1 to 10 Mathematics curriculum are content, skills,
and disposition.
Content
To become mathematically proficient and critical problem solvers, learners need to be equipped with strong mathematical
knowledge and understanding. Lessons that are logically sequenced and interconnected enable students to learn deeply and flexibly.

of 68
The revised mathematics curriculum will have three content domains: (1) Number and Algebra; (2) Measurement and Geometry;
and (3) Data and Probability.
Skills
As proficient problem solvers, learners need to possess a range of mathematical skills. Such skills enhance the ability to analyze
and evaluate mathematical situations and obtain solutions to real-world problems.
In today’s highly technological world, the teaching and learning of mathematics needs to include, and also go beyond,
calculations and algorithmic procedures. This is because such calculations and procedures can be carried out by calculation devices
and software applications.
Disposition
Disposition is closely related to “attitude” and “value.” Values are the “guiding principles that underpin what people believe to
be important when making decisions in private and public life … [while] attitudes are underpinned by values and beliefs and have an
influence on behaviour” (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2019, p. 4). Mathematical disposition
also incorporates appreciation of values intrinsic to mathematics such as its coherence and consistency, precision and clarity, and
generality and extendibility.
A sound mathematical disposition facilitates genuine learning and the development of the mathematical proficiency needed for
efficient and successful problem solving.
The Supporting Components
The three components designed to support the facilitating facets for achieving the curriculum goal of the Grades 1 to 10
Mathematics curriculum are pedagogy, assessment, and resources.
Pedagogy
Pedagogy is concerned with the methods used to deliver a curriculum. The quality of mathematics learning depends on the
quality of the various learning experiences employed to engage and instruct learners.
Assessment
Assessment complements pedagogical approaches and is a vital aspect of curriculum implementation in mathematics.

of 68
With the curriculum goal centered on developing mathematical proficiency, critical thinking, and problem solving, the
assessment process should not only record learners’ level of achievement in understanding concepts, reasoning, and the solution of
mathematics problems, but should also result in the development of appropriate feedback for improving instruction.
Assessments, whether for formative or summative purposes, should be administered in various forms.
Resources
The learning of mathematics needs to be supported with a variety of teaching and learning resources. Electronic and print
resources need to be carefully selected and judiciously used. Teachers and other instructional leaders are acknowledged as key
resources in the implementation of the curriculum.
Structure of the Learning Area
Big Ideas
Charles (2005) defines a big idea as “a statement of an idea that is central to the learning of mathematics, one that links
numerous mathematical understandings into a coherent whole” (p. 10).
The notion of Big Ideas lays the foundation for defining the context of the curriculum in terms of its mathematics content. The
formulation of these Big Ideas illustrates the connections across the various mathematical concepts in the different stages of the
learning process.
These Big Ideas are present in curriculum content domains and across the curriculum stages. They are interconnected and
support and reinforce the integration of key concepts, while supporting and reinforcing each other. With the notion of Big Ideas,
“mathematics is no longer seen as a set of disconnected concepts, skills, and facts. Rather, mathematics becomes a coherent set of
ideas” (p. 10).
The revised curriculum identifies twelve Big Ideas:
1. Numbers – Real numbers can be paired one-to-one with the points on the number line, and so can quantify and describe a
mathematical or real-world object and its attributes.
2. Measures – Some attributes of a mathematical or real-world object can be quantified by using measures, so that they can be
studied further.

of 68
3. Shapes, Space, and Graphs – Mathematical objects such as geometric figures, solids, equations, inequalities, relations, and
data can be visualized using shapes and graphs and in space.
4. Patterns, Relations, and Functions – Mathematical rule, graph, or table can be used to assign object(s) from one set to object(s)
from another set to show specific relations between the two sets.
5. Data – Data can be collected and processed to obtain meaningful information.
6. Chance – The number 0 and 1 (inclusive) can be used to quantify and describe the chances for an event to occur.
7. Representations and Communications – Mathematical objects, properties, operations, and quantities (known or unknown)
can be translated, represented, and communicated concretely or visually in a precise manner by using numbers, symbols,
notations, variables, expressions, equations, geometric figures, flowcharts, tables, and graphs.
8. Relationships – The relationships that exists between mathematical concepts (e.g. objects, statements) can be used to generate
more properties about them and to connect them to other concept in mathematics.
9. Operations and Transformations – Meaningful operations or transformations can be performed on a collection of mathematical
objects or statements to obtain another mathematical object or statement that models a situation.
10. Properties and Applications – A mathematical object has properties that define the object or describe its attributes, and these
properties and their logical consequences can be applied to mathematical and real-world problems.
11. Equivalence – Mathematical objects or statements can be represented or stated in different ways that have the same value,
form, or logical meaning.
12. Reasoning and Proof – Mathematical reasoning and proofs establish and communicate the truth and falsity of a mathematical
statement, computational and/or verbal procedure, and problem-solving process.
Through these Big Ideas, concepts and their competencies that are essential in the succeeding levels of the curriculum and
that prepare the learners for higher-level mathematics are selected. A concept or a skill is “essential” if it is indispensable in building
concepts and skills to equip learners for subsequent grade levels and, at the same time, for lifelong learning.
Developmental Sequence of Concepts
“Any subject can be taught in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development (Bruner, 1977, p.33).”
Even the most complex mathematical concept can be learned at a young age if it is properly structured, suitably scaffolded, and
progressively revisited over a span of time, gaining mastery and rigor along the way.

of 68
Harden and Stamper (1999) present the following features of a curriculum that incorporates a developmental sequence of
concepts:
• topics are revisited;
• there are increasing levels of difficulty;
• new learning is related to previous learning;
• the competence of students increases as learning progresses (p. 141).
Developmental sequence of concepts is proposed in the structuring of the curriculum. Through this, mathematical knowledge
and skills increase in depth and breadth as the grade level increases. Mathematical concepts are revisited in higher grade levels
leading to increased complexity, increased conceptual understanding, and enhanced problem-solving skills.
Vertical and Horizontal Articulation
Vertical and horizontal articulation are used with the aim of ensuring that standards and competencies are logically sequenced
within the mathematics curriculum and across learning areas.
Vertical Articulation
Vertical articulation is concerned with the development of mathematical knowledge, skills, and understanding across the
grades in the curriculum. Key Stage 1 centers on foundational competencies in the three content domains. These competencies
gradually progress to Key Stages 2 and 3, with an emphasis on analysis, reasoning, and communicating mathematically to confidently
solve mathematical problems.
Emphasizing the key concepts identified, the Big Ideas reinforce the learning to achieve mathematical proficiency. Learners are
equipped with skills and processes to carry out mathematical procedures and to solve problems. They are then able to communicate
their reasoning and successfully complete tasks of higher cognitive demand.
Horizontal Articulation
Horizontal articulation is concerned with the role of mathematics across the curriculum. For instance, the concepts and skills
in Key Stage 1 are indispensable in the development of foundational skills in other learning areas. Predominantly falling under
languages learning areas, foundational skills in reading and writing are requisite to a fuller understanding of mathematical concepts
and skills, including in reading and writing numbers expressed using numerals and in words, determining place value, and counting.

of 68
Meanwhile, concepts and skills in Mathematics are articulated vis-à-vis those in other learning areas. For example, describing
the motion of an object in terms of distance, velocity, and acceleration in Science requires knowledge of formulating equations and
finding solutions. Mensuration and calculation are core competencies in Edukasyon Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan
(EPP)/Technology Livelihood Education (TLE).
It is also clear that skills in data management and analysis are required by learners, especially for dealing with big data.
Knowledge and skills in Number and in the use of money are fundamentally important in daily-life activities, including in budgeting,
spending, saving, and earning, which are key to the development of strong financial literacy. Proficiency in Mathematics arguably
facilitates better understanding in other learning areas, where it is used as a tool for learning the concepts and skills in those learning
areas.
Development of 21st
Century Skills
The knowledge, skills, attitudes, and competencies that learners need to develop so that they can prepare for and succeed in
work and life in the 21st century are referred to as “21st century skills.” Through the facilitating facets and supporting components,
the mathematics curriculum promotes and develops information, media and technology skills; learning and innovation skills;
communication skills; and life and career skills (DepEd Order 21 S. 2019, p. 6).
To support learners in meeting the challenges of the 21st century, it is important to nurture their abilities to create innovative
solutions to real-world problems. This gives further emphasis to the main curriculum goal.
Through the various mathematical tasks that they undertake, learners are engaged in cognitive processes to understand and
solve problems using a variety of approaches, such as modelling, data analysis, and logical reasoning. Such approaches to solving
problems encourage learners to pursue other Learning and Innovation Skills such as creativity, critical thinking, and reflective
thinking. Presented with non-routine problems, learners can identify new connections between concepts and ideas, examine them
from various perspectives, consider alternative ideas or solutions, and demonstrate willingness to try other methods or strategies in
spite of previous unsuccessful attempts.
In developing skills in Information, Media and Technology, learners closely examine, interpret, and communicate
understanding of various objects, shapes, symbols, and text types to stimulate and nurture visual literacy. By considering different
objects, shapes and symbols, learners are able to bring their understanding of number, geometry, or data management to the
interpretation of data sets presented in tables and graphs, and to the creation of engaging presentations and infographics.
The development of communication skills is critical for learners to be able to express their ideas, explain their solutions, and
justify their reasoning in oral and/or written form. Learning tasks that involve activities that require teamwork and collaboration are
also avenues for the development of interpersonal skills, intrapersonal skills, interactive communication, and non-verbal
communication.

of 68
Life and career skills are evidenced in the curriculum through tasks that require skills for informed decision-making and
collaboration that foster adaptive leadership. Self-discipline, resilience, and adversity management may be manifested through
learners’ perseverance in solving mathematical problems by using different approaches or strategies.
Social Issues and Government Priorities
The learning competencies and performance standards of the curriculum are relevant in the address of some societal issues.
The curriculum equips learners with the mathematical concepts and skills that may be relevant to social justice, cultural
diversity, sustainable development, and disaster risk reduction and management. Mathematical modelling, for example, could be
utilized to address simple problems related to sustainable development and disaster risk reduction and management.
STEM
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) is a government priority and is significant in the development of
problem solvers and innovative thinkers. As depicted in the STEM Framework, this is achieved through three learning areas in the K
to 12 curriculum – Science, Mathematics, and Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE), which may collectively employ the
Engineering Design Process (EDP) to attain curriculum goals. Though distinct and taught separately, these three learning areas are
interrelated, and each contributes knowledge and skills for the solution of real-world problems. Figure 2 shows a diagrammatic
representation of the STEM Framework.
Figure 2. The diagrammatic representation of the STEM Framework

of 68
Utilizing the EDP in the instruction allows learners to repeat steps as many times as needed to make improvements, learn from
unsuccessful attempts, and discover different or novel design possibilities to arrive at optimal solutions. In the curriculum, EDP is
exhibited through problem solving and investigative approaches where learners apply their mathematical, scientific, and technological
understanding to formulate, conjecture, reason, create and evaluate a solution to a real-world problem.
Financial Literacy
Financial literacy is “the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage one’s financial resources effectively for lifetime financial
security” (Mandell, 2009).
The Financial Education Policy (DO 22, s. 2021) targets the financial literacy and capability of learners. The policy reiterates
the need to integrate financial concepts across learning areas at different levels. In Mathematics, learners focus on concepts relating
to the identification and value of money and use these concepts to solve specific problems on investment, saving, budgeting, and
spending.
Pedagogy, Assessment and Resources
The achievement of the Mathematics curriculum goals requires explicit guidance on instruction, on the role of assessment, on
the use of resources for teaching and learning, and on the use of student context.
Pedagogy
In broader terms, there are two types of knowledge at play in a mathematics classroom: the mathematical knowledge that the
learners have gained from their everyday experiences and the mathematical knowledge articulated in the curriculum. Relating
learners’ informal knowledge of mathematical concepts and facilitating learners’ internalization of school mathematics are major tasks
of teaching. It necessitates teaching strategies that bring into the fore what learners already know, such as using in tasks situations
that are familiar to the learners to draw out the mathematics that they already know in this context.
For achieving the Mathematics curriculum goal, a variety of pedagogical approaches can be used. Strategies that can be adopted
include: guided discovery learning, inquiry-based learning, reflective learning, experiential learning, and the concrete-
representational-abstract (CRA) instructional approach, among others. In addition, pedagogical approaches that include guided or
direct instruction coupled with opportunities for learners’ inquiry in generating their own solutions, collaborative learning with peers,
and independent learning, may also be employed. Mastery learning is also emphasized to ensure that learners reach a certain level
of proficiency to be able to engage in a new learning task successfully.

of 68
The curriculum views the attainment of its goals with all learners in mind. Through its standards and competencies, the
curriculum acknowledges the different needs of learners, fosters their engagement with learning, and promotes the use of appropriate
language and technologies to make learning accessible.
The curriculum is informed by reviews that have identified the different levels of performance of Filipino learners. At the same
time, diversity, equity, and inclusion need to be continually considered throughout the teaching and learning of Mathematics.
Assessment
As a vital aspect of curriculum implementation in Mathematics, assessment plays a key role in shaping learners’ thinking
about their mathematical potential, moving away from performance and towards an emphasis on growth and learning (Boaler, Dance
& Woodbury, 2018).
Regardless of whether assessment is formal or informal, assessment tools should be varied in order to understand the different
dimensions of students’ learning (SEI-DOST, 2011). While examinations and quizzes have a place in measuring skills learned, and
knowledge development and acquisition, many aspects of mathematical learning could be effectively measured by other means such
as interview tasks, analysis of student work samples, presentations by learners, and questioning by teachers.
Formative and summative assessment tasks that are appropriate to the grade level and relevant conceptual understanding
and skills, should be developed in conjunction with other learning areas. For example, developing a healthy menu plan for a week
may be primarily in Health or Science, may include Mathematics on the computation of a budget for the daily meal, English for the
written presentation of the menu, and Arts for the visual presentation of the menu.
Together with data from international assessments, results from classroom assessments need to be analyzed and used to
improve planning for further instruction and learning.
Formative and summative assessments provide opportunities for learners to demonstrate higher-order mathematical thinking,
justify their solutions, communicate their understanding, and express their ideas well in written and/or oral form. For instance,
portfolios of learner’s mathematical work on meaningful tasks (e.g., drawing interconnections of mathematical concepts across various
disciplines), as well as reports, including mathematical investigations, may be employed.
As envisioned for the revised curriculum, the continuous interaction of teaching and learning may be realized through
assessment tasks that are information driven and are seamlessly designed to communicate the goals of successful learning.
Resources
Appropriate resources are fundamental to supporting the delivery of a quality curriculum. Such resources are developed and
disseminated to schools for the various learning areas and grades.

of 68
Teaching and learning have been assisted and made more inclusive through the use of technology. From calculating devices,
instructional manipulatives and software applications, to assistive and adaptive devices, the curriculum strongly recommends the
use of these available technologies to facilitate the teaching and learning of concepts and skills, and to enhance problem solving.
In particular, the curriculum presupposes the use of instructional manipulatives and software applications in Key Stages 1, 2
and 3, calculating devices as additional technological support in Key Stage 3, and assistive and adaptive devices for learners with
special needs.
The TIMSS 2019 results show that “there is a modest positive association between home educational resources and average
mathematics achievement at the country level” (Mullis et al., 2020, p. 285). Relevant to the level of these home resources are the
availability of Internet connection, books, and one’s own room, as well as parents’ level of education. The learners’ home environment,
together with the availability of technological resources, plays a significant role in supporting the implementation of the curriculum.
The Role of Language
Mathematics has its own specialized terminology to name objects such as numbers, polygons and functions; its own specialized
symbolic and representational system; and its own rules for working with these objects.
Foundational understanding of mathematics is contingent on the learner’s ability to communicate in the language of
mathematics. The use of particular mathematical terms and representations demonstrates how a learner’s thinking processes evolve.
For example, at an early stage of learning, a learner may describe a square as “a shape with four equal sides,” then at a middle stage,
“a rectangle with four equal sides,” and, at a later stage, “a quadrilateral with four equal angles and four equal sides.”
For mathematical terms in a multi-lingual classrooms, it is recommended that the English terms be adopted. Furthermore, the
learner’s language can be used as a tool in learning and understanding mathematics across all levels.

of 68
Key Stage Curriculum and Standards
Key Stage 1 Curriculum
Key Stage 1 (KS 1) of the Mathematics curriculum focuses on Grades 1 to 3 learners. At this stage, the curriculum addresses
the development of early numeracy by focusing on the learners’ understanding of 1-to-4-digit numbers, measures, basic shapes, and
simple data. It also develops their fluency in carrying out procedures or operations involving these mathematical objects in their
various representations (concrete, contextual, verbal, visual, and symbolic). Mastery of early numeracy concepts lays the groundwork
for understanding more complex mathematical concepts and solving more complex problems.
Learning experiences include basic mathematical explorations of these objects and operations that will engage learners in a variety
of thinking processes in real, in situated, and in purely mathematical contexts. The goal of learning experiences is to support and
strengthen the young learners’ interest and appreciation of mathematics as a tool for solving problems and for communicating ideas
in everyday situations.
The learning standards of the Key Stage 1 Mathematics curriculum aim to ensure that learners:
● accurately understand and apply concepts, operations, procedures, and relationships in solving routine and non-routine
problems related to their day-to-day lives.
● acquire high-level skills and fluency in the procedures and processes of mathematics through varied frequent practice and
meaningful learning experiences.
● communicate and represent mathematical concepts and understanding using developmentally appropriate language.
● acquire problem-solving and critical thinking skills through real, situated or purely mathematical problems.

applied, with the use of technology, to the processes within Mathematics of critical thinking, problem solving, communicating,
reasoning, and making connections between topic areas.

of 68
Key Stage 3 (KS 3) of the Mathematics curriculum focuses on Grades 7 to 10 learners. At this stage, the curriculum covers
algebra, measurement, geometry, and data and probability with greater emphasis on cognitive development towards self-directed
learning.
Dealing with more complex and abstract forms, Key Stage 3 concentrates on sets and real numbers, functions, equations,
inequalities, sequences, axiomatic structure of geometry, triangle congruence and similarity, basic trigonometry, basic statistical
measures, and probability.
The learning standards of the KS 3 Mathematics curriculum aim to ensure that learners:

Curriculum Organization
It is proposed that the curriculum organizers described below are used together to form the curriculum description in the
Grades 1 to 10 Mathematics Curriculum Guide. The definitions (in italics) within this section are drawn from DepEd Order No. 8, s.
2015 and DepEd Order No. 21, s. 2019.
1) Standard – In its broadest sense, it is something against which other things can be compared to for the purpose of determining
accuracy, estimating quantity or judging quality. It is a stated expectation of what one should know and be able to do.
2) Key Stage – This refers to stages in the K to 12 Program reflecting distinct developmental milestones. These are Key Stage 1
(Kindergarten – Grade 3), Key Stage 2 (Grades 4 – 6), Key Stage 3 (Grades 7 – 10), and Key Stage 4 (Grades 11 and 12).
3) Key Stage Standard* – This shows the degree or quality of proficiency that the learner is able to demonstrate in each key stage
after learning a particular learning area in relation to the core learning area standard.
4) Grade Level Standard – This shows the degree or quality of proficiency that the learner is able to demonstrate in each Grade
after learning a particular learning area in relation to the core learning area standard.
5) Content Domain** – This is a particular strand (or ‘domain’) of the curriculum in which the scope and sequence of a set of
related topics and skills are covered.
6) Content Standard – The content standards identify and set the essential knowledge and understanding that should be learned.
They cover a specified scope of sequential topics within each learning strand, domain, theme, or component. Content standards
answer the question, “What should the learners know?”
7) Learning Competency – This refers to a specific skill performed with varying degrees of independence. It has different degrees
of difficulty and performance levels. It also refers to the ability to perform activities according to the standards expected by
drawing from one’s knowledge, skills, and attitudes.
8) Performance Standard – The performance standards describe the abilities and skills that learners are expected to demonstrate
in relation to the content standards and integration of 21st century skills. The integration of knowledge, understanding, and
skills is expressed through creation, innovation, and adding value to products/performance during independent work or in
collaboration with others.
* To ensure that the components of mathematical proficiency focused on problem solving are articulated in the revised curriculum, the key stage standards
presented provide guidance in the writing of the content standards, learning competencies and performance standards.
** The content domains proposed for the K to 10 Mathematics curriculum are Number and Algebra, Measurement and Geometry, and Data and Probability.
