Nature of Mathematics
Mathematics is a core subject of basic
education that encompasses life at any stage.
Its importance goes beyond the lesson and the
school. It provides learners with the answers to
many questions about the world they live in.
It plays a vital role in many fields including
natural science, social sciences, engineering
finance, and many more. Its application to
these fields makes use of new mathematical
innovations in which new disciplines are
developed.
Checkpoint!
Think of instances in which Mathematics
plays a vital role in your day-to-day life.
The Conceptual
Framework of the K
to 12 Mathematics
Curriculum
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
an analytical tool with several variations and
contexts. It can be applied in different
categories of work where an overall picture is
needed.
Example:
The Conceptual
Framework of the K
to 12 Mathematics
Curriculum
Twin Goals
CRITICAL THINKING PROBLEM SOLVING
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.
CRITICAL THINKING
Scriven and Paul (1987)
finding a way around a difficulty, around an
obstacle, and finding a solution to a problem
that is unknown.
PROBLEM SOLVING
Polya (1945 & 1962)
problem solving focuses the student attention on ideas
and sense making rather than memorization of facts
develops the student’s s belief that they are capable of
doing mathematics and that mathematics makes sense
teaching through problem solving is fun and when
learning is fun, students have a better chance of
remembering it later.
it provides ongoing assessment data that can be used
to make instructional decisions, help students succeed,
and inform parents
Checkpoint!
What is the relationship between critical
thinking and problem solving?
Pedagogies of
the Mathematics
Curriculum
learners construct knowledge
rather than just passively take in
information.
CONSTRUCTIVISM
The learner constructs and clarifies
meaning in terms of their own
understanding and cognition, supporting
changes in conceptual perspective.
REFLECTIVE LEARNING
the process whereby knowledge is
created through the transformation
of experience.
EXPERIENTIAL AND
SITUATED LEARNING
students are encouraged to construct
their own knowledge through a self-
directed learning process—essentially
“instructionless” learning
DISCOVERY AND INQUIRY –
BASED LEARNING
the instructional use of small groups to
promote students working together to
maximize their own and each other's
learning
COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Number Sense

Math Concept: The Spiral Approach
The Mathematics K to 12 curriculum is seamless. This
ensures smooth transition between grade level and a
continuum of competencies through spiral progression
where learning of knowledge, skills, values, and
attitudes increases in depth and breadth.
Math Concept: The Spiral Approach
There is also continuity of competencies and standards
from elementary to secondary level through a unified
curriculum framework.
Math Concept: The Spiral Approach
The unified standards and competencies ensure
integration of what learners learn across grade levels
and across learning areas for a more meaningful
learning. Below is an example of spiraling of concepts
about Numbers and Number Sense and Geometry from
Kindergarten to Grade 3.
Kindergarten Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 3
