National Learning Camp Overview
Overview
The National Learning Camp (NLC) aims to enhance student and teacher learning through interactive
lessons based on prior educational content. The program focuses on consolidating student knowledge,
updating and expanding teacher expertise, and applying research-based strategies to improve learning
teaching outcomes.
The NLC offers grade-level review lessons that are directed by the teacher and designed to be highly
interactive among:
(i) students with their teacher; and
(ii) students with their peers.
The Camp lessons are grounded in the ‘Science of Learning’ framework, focusing on cognitive research and
practical applications to enhance learning outcomes. Lessons are structured to reinforce foundational
knowledge and skills, involve real-world problem-solving activities, and encourage higher-order thinking.
The Camps also offer teachers opportunities for reflection and professional growth, encouraging the
adoption of new teaching approaches and the extension of student learning through systematic review and
application of knowledge.
Design Basis
A strength of the design is the focus on both student and teacher learning. The intentions and expectations
of the NLC are for:
students to consolidate and enhance their thinking in topics already covered;
teachers to update, strengthen and expand their subject knowledge in ways that encourage
students to be involved in learning activities at different levels including those considered as higher
order; and
teachers to enhance their pedagogical practices by focusing on selected skills, which include 21st
century skills.
Under the framework of ‘Science of Learning’, research-evidence is used to ground teaching and learning
decisions around cognition research and features of a learning brain such as working memory demands,
cognitive load, valuing errors, and domain specific skills. This framework highlights a learning-focused
approach where teachers go beyond what might be considered current practice in the Philippines and
incorporate brain-based ideas and approaches, including 21st Century skills, to make teaching more
effective in enhancing learning for all.
To further support this direction, teachers are provided with resources, time and the opportunity to
further extend their skills, knowledge and understandings of teaching and how students learn. The review
lessons are designed to apply subject content already encountered by students. Because of this, lessons do
not contain repetitive, routine questions of a particular subject aspect.
Review lessons
The review lessons are based on content already encountered by students in their current grade. All
lessons involve an exploration of ideas, concepts and content. The purpose of the review lessons is two-
fold:
(i) to establish in students a stronger basis for future learning development (prior to enrolling in a
new Grade after the summer break); and
1
(ii) to enable teachers to strengthen and enrich their teaching practice in a research-based,
learning-focused professional program (prior to a new academic year).
The primary focus of the review lessons concerns revising, clarifying and then applying previously-taught
subject content with real-world problem-solving and/or comprehension activities. Each lesson begins by a
focused content review and clarification of material needed in the lesson to come. For students, this initial
review enables them to practice retrieving and practicing important basics relevant to the lesson to come.
For Teachers this information is designed to help determine learners’ subject background knowledge and
skills relevant to the lesson as well as help teachers identify where to build on previous learning. This
approach is different to ‘teaching’ students anew as if they have not been taught previously.
2
Lesson Overview
All lessons in each of the three subjects, English, Mathematics and Science, contain five components. These
are 1. Short Review, 2. Purpose/Intention, 3 Language Practice, 4 Activity and 5 Conclusion.
Timing
Approximate component timings are indicated as advice to guide the teacher in pacing the lessons. Time
management involves:
moving through components at a pace that is appropriate for learners;
ensuring that all components are completed in a timely, efficient and constructive manner.
Research on student-learning quality and ‘time’ are related through student ‘time-on-task’. Time-on-task
refers to when students are actively involved (engaged) in some aspects of the learning process. The
suggested times for each component are intended to maximize the time available for student involvement.
This will encourage the student and teacher to work efficiently, timewise, through the lesson without
jeopardizing the importance of student activities such as to:
answer routine and non-routine questions,
respond to verbal questions and explanations,
interpret and use appropriate terminology,
discuss aspects with their peers,
explain or justify his/her approaches and thinking,
work productively on their own, and
listen carefully to the teacher or peers.
Establishing what is on-task time is more problematic when the teacher talks and students passively listen,
such as in didactic teaching. With such an approach it is difficult to determine whether students are
listening or even paying attention. Often in lessons identifying time-on task can also be problematic in case
of problem-solving or intense reading and comprehension. Here, student activity is often more subtle and
cerebral as students need to think quietly by themselves.
Ultimately, however, the time allocated to components will be determined by learners’ needs and
strengths, but not completely. There needs to be practical limits on the duration of the components to
prevent major disruption to lessons which can have a detrimental impact on student learning. Often,
teacher should not expect too much learning to occur on an initial meeting of unfamiliar content. It is
repeated exposure associated with elaboration, addressing errors, and deliberately practicing key aspects
where most learning occurs.
When times are allocated appropriately, and students become familiar with the approach and teacher
expectations, concept development and student skill levels are improved as well as student engagement.
Note: Care needs to be exercised in determining what engagement means. Engagement is clearer when
students are doing the learning through answering questions, writing, discussing and reading.
Key Ideas and Questioning
Critical aspects of the NLC for the teacher include questions related to learning areas, based around a key
idea. The questions are offered at different levels of difficulty involving lower- to higher-order thinking,
starting with questions of modest complexity up to those that require more developed reasoning.
3
In the lessons, students are provided with opportunities to practise solving non-routine questions to help
improve their conceptual understanding by applying known content to subject-related problems.
Teacher Reflection
Teacher reflection on the lessons offer important insights to stimulate teachers and their peers to enhance
their own practice and the learning of their students. This includes:
new teaching approaches encouraged by lesson components that can contribute in different ways
to student learning and lesson success;
the use of review lessons that help review learnt material and extend student abilities in problem
solving by utilizing known information;
a focus on student concept and skill acquisition, pedagogical approaches, student errors, time-on-
task, deliberate practice and working memory demands.
4
Enhancement and Consolidation Camps
The Enhancement Camp and the Consolidation Camp offer students the chance to review their subject
background knowledge by consolidating previously taught material. The intention is:
for students to have opportunities to review past work and to practice applying this knowledge of
concepts and ideas through grade-related sets of questions of developing difficulty; and
for teachers to follow the given format of components with some flexibility to adjust parts of a
lesson to meet the learning needs of students in their class, particularly, if students are having
difficulties.
Camp Differences
In the case of lessons for students in either the Enhancement Camp or Consolidation Camp, the materials,
including the lesson plans and the sets of questions, are, on the surface, the same. These questions range
from those of modest difficulty to those which require more insight and more knowledge and
understanding.
There are important reasons for both Camps sharing the same content. Exploring and answering these
question sets has value to students from both Camps, albeit in different ways. It enables students to work
through a range of ideas on their own before hearing from their peers and teacher concerning the same
questions – a very rich learning environment. Also, similar questions mean that expectations for students
in both Camps is not limited and students have the same potential for growth.
The difference between Camps concerns the teaching focus, which is related to the breadth and depth of
conceptual knowledge of students. It is anticipated that based on student performance within a lesson, the
teacher will decide whether the class needs more practice and discussion of straightforward questions or
whether extension material is more appropriate for the class.
In particular, questions marked as Optional (typically high-order questions) are more likely to be addressed
in the Enhancement Camp than the Consolidation Camp, but not exclusively. It is the teacher who decides
whether to include ‘optional’ questions and this will depend on student-learning success and
understanding at that time.
If Optional questions are not used, teachers would spend that time productively. This includes reinforcing
the concepts by increasing the focus on student errors and/or increasing student-student, and student-
class directed conversations.
Lower- and Higher-order Skill and Knowledge Development
In all learning, lower-order thinking is a pre-requisite for higher-order skills and knowledge development.
Many students are disadvantaged in their attempts to move forward in their learning through a lack of
practice and conceptual development of needed lower-order skills, knowledge and understandings. Hence,
all students benefit from a stock-take on relevant lower-order skills from previously addressed content.
This helps establish a basis upon which student learning should build.
In both the Enhancement and Consolidation Camps important lower-order content skills, knowledge and
understandings are re-visited at the beginning of each lesson. This helps ensure that potential learning
obstacles are made visible to the student and the teacher. It also means that some errors in understanding
or misconceptions are identified. This information is important to teachers in helping all students move
forward regardless of their achievement levels.
5
As many questions posed are about applying content already encountered to a new problem, students
have the opportunity to use their current knowledge, skill and understanding in a practical way at their
level, further developing their conceptualization and understanding of the subject matter.
Both Camps offer students the opportunity to improve their learning and conceptual development by a
stepped approach that involves:
(i) reminding students of relevant lower-order skills through practice,
(ii) having students use and discuss their knowledge in sets of graded questions with an emphasis
on straightforward questions,
(iii) expecting students to apply their knowledge leading to more breadth in learning,
(iv) beginning an initial focused practice on higher-order skill development.
The approach advocated to solve problems or comprehend passages extends student learning beyond
simple repetitive exercises sets. For these students the teaching part of the lesson requires teachers
reviewing closely student solution attempts through student explanation, discussion and questioning of
fundamental aspects of topics that are typically found in the earlier questions. Teachers should be sensitive
to students’ self-perceptions here as they may meet the ideas, presented in the lessons, maybe after many
failures with these concepts in the past.
Nevertheless, these students should become aware of the more difficult questions as teachers allow them
to consider links or connections between concepts previously taught. There is great value in problem
solving for students to have time to read the problem and then be able to indicate in their own words,
what the problem is about.
Finally, it is important that teachers in the Enhancement and Consolidation Camps become aware of what
their students know, where they are progressing and how to build on student skills and knowledge.
Teachers need to be nurturing and supportive of this development and continually look for evidence of
success and growth. Teachers also need to encourage students to persist, continue to practice individual
aspects, and use any mistakes/errors they make as an opportunity to learn more. These are important
features of a successful learning journey.

Lesson Components: Short Overview
Lesson Component 1 (Lesson Short Review)
Component 1 offers teachers the chance to:
settle the class quickly;
review previously encountered information;
address previous content in the form of a few targeted questions that are relevant to the current
lesson;
note what students already know;
elicit answers from the class to reinforce the important content needed for the lesson; and
address briefly issues that may arise.
The questions set for the Short Review section of a lesson are designed to remind students of knowledge
and skills developed when first studying the topic area, which are relevant to the lesson.
Lesson Component 2 (Lesson Purpose/Intention)
This component offers teachers a chance to acquaint students with the purpose/intention of the lesson. It
is valuable if students see a link here with their prior knowledge or experience, especially if the teacher can
connect it to the responses and levels of student understanding evident in Component 1.
In addition, this component is an appropriate time to address what students might expect/aim to achieve,
i.e., their lesson goal(s). Teachers should clarify, in clear language, the learning intention for the students
as well as what success will look like. (Note: The degree of success or partial success of student learning in
the lesson should occur as part of Component 5.)
Lesson Component 3 (Lesson Language Practice)
Component 3 concerns language use – speaking, hearing, listening, and comprehending. The focus is on
words or phrases that are to be used in the lesson.
The language practice suggested has been identified by considering the whole lesson and identifying those
words/phrases that have the potential to cause difficulties for students through speech, or listening, or
understanding. Typically, the language identified is restricted to less than 6 words/phrases so that there is
enough time to use a variety of approaches of practice within the time available.
Lesson Component 4 (Lesson Activity)
7
to identify any unfamiliar language for the student (possibly addressed in Component 3)
to read the passage or describe the figure, etc.
to hear and experience fluency in reading the stem.
4B Solving the First Set of Questions
4B involves a set of questions associated with the stem. Students will need to refer to the stem as they
prepare to answer the set of questions. Students write down responses or attempts at each question. It is
important that every student in the class is expected to have a response for each question. It is expected
and acceptable that students would make errors, which provide teachers with important information
concerning students’ learning needs. A critical procedural action here for teachers is the importance of all
students starting on the same set of questions, at the same time.
When the students are finished, or sufficient time has been allocated, the teacher marks the questions.
This can be achieved by student answers or approaches to the questions and by explaining or justifying
their reasons. Time should be allocated to student discussion, explanation, and reasoning about answers.
4C Solving the Second Set of Questions
4C offers a new start for students regardless of how they performed in Component 4B. The structure is
very similar to Component 4B, i.e., undertaking a new set of questions related to the same stem. In
addition, the lesson structure allows a refresh as 4C presents a new starting point for the student. This
structure also allows all students in the class to start a new activity at the same time.
This approach serves two purposes for teachers. First, it enables teachers to bring all students back
together to proceed as a group with issues able to be directed to and considered by every student at the
same time. Second, it offers teachers a way to extend their students problem solving practice where a
different sets of questions can be used with a single Stem. This is an efficient way to incorporate more
problem-solving or comprehension practice on specific content into a lesson.
Lesson Component 5 Lesson Conclusion
Component 5 has a high metacognitive aspect for students – students thinking about their own thinking –
which can be further enhanced by teacher modelling. Component 5 is designed to offer a student-focused
overview to the main intentions of the lesson. In particular, the focus is about helping students reflect on
their progress and achievement (or partial achievements) of the lesson intention as well as their
understanding development during the lesson.
It builds on comments from Component 2 about teacher expectations. There is the chance here to confirm
student progress during the lesson. A teacher may use a diagram, picture or some aspect of the lesson as a
catalyst to stimulate student discussion and reflection.
NOTE: A fuller description of the Components and features of the lessons is provided in the Learning Camp
– Notes to Teachers Booklet. It is recommended that these notes are read and discussed by teachers as
they provide a further basis to understanding the structure of lessons and the pedagogy.

Mathematics Grade 8 Lesson Plan 1
Factors of Trinomials
Key Idea
Solving real life problems by factorizing trinomials.
Ask students to volunteer answers, giving positive feedback. Read out a sample answer for all
students to listen to and write down. (This may come from one of the students or from the sample
answers below).
Sample answers:
1. 2(𝑥 + 2)
2. 3(𝑥 − 3)
3. 6(2𝑎2 + 1
4. 𝑥 2 (1 + 3𝑥)
5. (𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 + 3)
If students get the earlier Short Review questions incorrect, then time should be devoted to
looking at their knowledge of the skills of factorizing. Perhaps, give them more similar questions
after some basic skills have been reviewed before moving on to the more difficult questions in
Component 4.
If three times Alan’s age 6 years ago is subtracted from twice his present age, the result
would be equal to his present age. Find Alan’s present age.
Students should say out loud what the question requires them to do. They could also explain to each
other how they will start the problem.
Component 4B
Write an equation to show the information in the problem.
Simplify the expression and solve the problem.
Sample answers:
Let x be Alans's present age.
Alan's age 6 years ago = x - 6.
Three times Alan's age 6 years ago is 3(x - 6).
Twice his present age = 2x.
If three times Alan's age 6 years ago is subtracted from twice his present age, the result would be equal
to his present age.
2𝑥 − 3(𝑥 − 6) = 𝑥
2𝑥 − 3𝑥 + 18 = 𝑥
−𝑥 + 18 = 𝑥
18 = 2𝑥
𝑥 = 9A
Alan's present age is 9 years.
Component 4C (Optional)
Read out the following question and ask students to answer.
If 18 is taken away from 8 times a number, the result is 30. Find the number.
Observe students’ answers.
Ask the students to volunteer their answers, giving positive feedback.
Select a good sample answer for all students to write down. This may come from one of the
students or from the following sample answer.
Sample answers:
10
Let 𝑥 be the number.
If 18 is taken away from 8 times a number and the result is 30
Then, we have
8𝑥 − 18 = 30
Add 18 to both sides.
8𝑥 = 48
Divide both sides by 8.
𝑥 = 6
The number is 6.

Q2. 15𝑎(𝑎 + 2)
Q3. −15𝑡 + 4
Q4. (𝑥 + 4)(𝑥 + 5)
Q5. 𝑥 2 − 6𝑥 + 9
The lesson is about the manipulations of polynomials to solve problems. Polynomials are often called the
"language" of mathematics and algebra. They are used in nearly every type of mathematics to show
numbers and expressions as a result of different mathematical operations. The manipulation of
polynomials allows us to simplify mathematical expressions to make them more useable to solve problems.
Read out difficult or unfamiliar words or phrases and ask the students to read them to themselves and
then out loud as a class.
Expression – Numbers, symbols and operators (such as and times) grouped together that show the value of
something.
Simplest form – An expression is in simplest form when there are no more terms that can be combined.
Represent – to show or stand in place of.
Perimeter – the total length of a boundary or the distance around the outside of a shape.
Area – The space enclosed by the boundary of a plane figure.

Component 5: Lesson Conclusion
Time: 5 minutes
In this component, the teacher initiates and leads a student-focused wrap-up to the main
objectives of the lesson. The focus is on the whole lesson experience, including how well what
students feel that they take from the lesson relates to what their expectations were for the lesson,
as outlined in Component 2 (‘Purpose/focus’ of the lesson).
The teacher should facilitate student reflection and discussion, that addresses such questions as:
o What do you think were the key mathematical concepts addressed in this lesson?
o Would you rate your level of understanding of the material covered in this lesson as high,
moderate, or low?
o Has the lesson helped you to gain further insight into aspects of the material covered that
represent strengths or represent weaknesses?
o What would you describe as the main barriers, if any, to your ongoing progress and
achievement in relation to the topic area addressed in this lesson?
o What do you think would best assist your ongoing progress and achievement in relation to the
topic area?

These may come from the students or from the following sample answer.
Sample Answer
In this example, we will state the systems of inequalities that satisfy the conditions for a carpenter
who wants to purchase two types of nails.
Since 𝑥 and 𝑦 are the amounts of nails (in kilograms) from the first and second type, respectively,
and the carpenter needs at least 5 kg of the first type and 3 kg of the second, we have the condition
𝑥≥5and 𝑦≥3.
As the first type costs $6 per kilogram and the second type costs $9 per kilogram, the total price for
each type would be 6𝑥 and 9𝑦 respectively. The sum of these has to be less than $75, and thus we
have 6𝑥+9𝑦<75.
To summarize, the system of inequalities for each condition for the given situation is 𝑥 ≥ 5,
𝑦 ≥ 3 , 6𝑥 + 9𝑦 < 75.
