Page 9 - iMath K to 12 Curriculum Series

This textbook follows the follows the format in accordance with the given
competencies in the curriculum guide of the K to 12 program of the enhanced Basic
Education Curriculum. This book is composed of 10 chapters – Numbers and Number
Sense, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Fractions, Geometry, Algebra,
Measurements, and Statistics and Probability

This book provides instructional activities that will elicit active involvement and
cooperation among the learners. The activities are intended to assist and guide the
learners, apply and experience mathematical concepts and skills in daily life situations.
In this way, the learners will be able to develop different skills and processes such as: 1)
Knowing and Understanding; 2) Estimating, Computing and Solving; 3) Visualizing and
Modelling; 4) Representing and Communicating; 5) Conjecturing, Reasoning, Proving
and Decision-making; and 6) Applying and Connecting.

This book is divided into two parts – the first part composed of the lessons to be
discussed while the second part are the activities to be answered.

In this book, you will find at the beginning of the chapter the Overview of what is
to be discussed along the way. Each lesson has Objectives that are used as a guide on
what is to be achieved at the end of the lesson.

Every lesson is provided with a practical situation before a thorough discussion.
Then, a Concept Review to assess the learners to what extent they understand the lesson.
The Keynotes shows the generalization of the topic.

The workbook is the second half of this book. These are the Building Skills which
comprises of three different activities to build and enhance the learners’ mathematical
skills. The exercises on the Building Skills are the following:

• Do This is designed to test mental skills and can be answered easily by the
pupils;
• Reasoning has questions that apply manipulative techniques they have learned
from the lessons; and
• Problem Solving requires deeper analysis on the part of the learners.

Teachers’ Guide

This book is infused with different teaching materials that will help the teachers
in delivering a more effective discussion of the lessons. It has a Teachers’ Manual as the
teachers’ guide on the execution of each lesson and the activities provided.

A PowerPoint Material presents the content of the book and can be used by
the teachers as a visual presentation during the discussion. Lastly, it also packages an
application for the teacher which is called "Math Worksheet Generator", a freeware from
Microsoft Education Labs, which can help the teachers in making exams and quizzes for
the pupils, especially the ones about solving equations, by generating automatic math
problems and an answer key provided on another sheet.

It is expected that various processes and concepts are fully understood and basic
skills are strengthened so that the learners will be prepared for higher Mathematics and
the real world.
