Foundations of Mathematics Teaching and Learning

This document discusses the foundations of mathematics teaching and learning in the Philippine context. It outlines the nature of mathematics as a study of patterns and relationships, a way of thinking, an art, a language, and a tool. It also describes the roles of mathematics in Philippine education and principles of mathematics instruction. Finally, it examines the Philippine K-12 mathematics curriculum framework and the strands that make up the mathematics curriculum: numbers and number sense, measurement, geometry, patterns and algebra, and statistics and probability.

Foundations of Mathematics Teaching

and Learning (Philippine Context)


 RYAN BERNIDO NETWORK

 MAR 14, 2022

This article presents the preliminary lessons in the course, Teaching Mathematics in the
Intermediate Grades. It discusses the foundations of mathematics teaching and learning
including the nature of mathematics, the five-point view of nature of mathematics, the
principles of mathematics teaching and learning, and other relevant topics taken from
various sources and were put together to grasp an understanding of the foundations of
mathematics instruction; particularly in the context of the Philippine Mathematics
Education.

Nature of Mathematics

•Mathematics is a study of patterns and relationships.

•Mathematics is a way of thinking.

•Mathematics is an art.

•Mathematics is a language.

•Mathematics is a tool.

Roles of Mathematics in the Philippine Education

1. Facilitating participation in productive life skills


2. A way of making sense of the world

3. Means of communication

4. A gateway for national progress

Principles in Mathematics Instruction

Principle 1. Being mathematically competent means more than having the ability to
compute and perform algorithms and mathematical procedures.

Principle 2. The physical and social dimensions of a mathematical environment


contribute to one’s success in learning mathematics.

Principle 3. Mathematics is best learned when students are actively engaged.

Principle 4. A deep understanding of mathematics requires a variety of tools for


learning.

Principle 5. Assessment in mathematics must be valued for the sake of knowing what
and how students learn or fail to learn mathematics.

Principle 6. Students’ attitudes and beliefs about mathematics affect their learning.

Principle 7. Mathematics learning needs the support of both parents and other
community groups.

Mathematics Education Framework 2011


This Mathematics Education Framework is developed and proposed by the Science
Education Institute, Department of Science and Technology (SEI-DOST) and the
Philippine Council of Mathematics Teacher Education (MATHTED), Inc. prior the
enactment of Republic Act 10533 (Enhance Basic Education Act 2013) which
established the Philippine K-12 Curriculum.

As per Mathematics Education Framework 2011, mathematics empowerment can be


made possible through the following important pillars: mathematical content, cognitive
demands, and cognitive values. These three should be developed among Filipino
learners,

Mathematical Content

The Philippine mathematics education program at the elementary and secondary levels
aims to teach the most fundamental and useful contents of mathematics and organizes
these into the following strands: Numbers and Number Sense; Measurement;
Geometry; Patterns, Functions and Algebra and Data, Analysis and Probability. This
organization of the contents was influenced by the 1995, 1999 and 2003 TIMSS
studies.

Cognitive Demands
Higher expectations are necessary, but not sufficient to accomplish the goals of
Philippine school mathematics education for all students. Tis framework starts from the
premise that equal opportunities must be given to all students regardless of learning
styles and levels of ability in order to meet the demands in learning quality mathematics
and assimilate the values intrinsic to the discipline. The cognitive demands under the
proposed framework are classified under the six general categories: Visualization,
Knowing, Computing, Solving, Applying and Proving.

Cognitive Values

Critical and analytical thinking cannot be fully developed without promoting desirable
cognitive values. The cognitive values that must be taught among others are:

a. Objectivity

b. Flexibility and creativity

c. Utility

d. Cultural-rootedness

e. Introspection

f. Productive Disposition

Philippine’s K-12 Curriculum, Mathematics Curriculum

The Philippine's K-12 Curriculum was established through the enactment of the
Republic Act 10533 also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act 2013. The K-12
curriculum states that pedagogical strategies must include constructivist, inquiry-based,
reflective, collaborative, differentiated, and integrative. Along Mathematics curriculum,
the goal is develop learner's critical thinking and problem solving skills. The contents of
the mathematics curriculum are grouped into 5 strands. These are:

a. Numbers and Number Sense

b. Measurement

c. Geometry

d. Patterns and Algebra

e. Statistics and Probability

Number and Number Sense

This strand include the following topics: concepts, operations and applications of
numbers; whole numbers, number theory, fractions, decimals, ratio and proportion,
percent and integers.

Measurement
This strand provides learners opportunity to master competencies along measures and
applications of length, mass, weight, capacity, time, money, temperature, angles,
perimeter, area, surface area, and volume.

Geometry

This focuses on the two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures (parallel and


perpendicular lines, angles, triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, circles, and solid figures
like cube and prism).

Patterns and Algebra

this strand studies patterns, relationships, and changes among shapes and quantities
(continuous and repeating patterns, number sentences, sequences and simple
equations)

Statistics and Probability

it focuses on skills in data collection, organization( bar graphs, line graphs and pie
graphs) and interpretation including making predictions about outcomes (simple
experiment and experimental probability).
