Enclosure 2 to Region Memorandum CLMD No. 12, s. 2020
I. RATIONALE:
Learning doesn’t only exist in the four corners of the classroom. It extends
outside where learners process things learned. A child’s holistic development is a
combination of social, mental, physical and spiritual aspects. This means that a
classroom itself cannot provide all the needs of a child learner to become holistic.
This requires a learner to learn new things outside the classroom through
engagement and experiencing real life situation activities.
II. OBJECTIVES:
4. Each event shall have only one coach who is a teacher duly recognized by the
division.
5. Coaches or teachers are prohibited from entering the contest area so as not to
disrupt the proceedings of the contest.
6. The rank per event has equivalent points as provided in the table below. The
sum of points will be the basis in declaring the over-all winner.

I. RATIONALE:
Taking Math out from the four corners of the classroom and allowing learners
link their knowledge, skills, attitudes and values (KSVA) with the real world makes
learning more relevant and meaningful (Barbosa, 2016). Many concepts which seem
too difficult to get a grasp of in the classroom are a lot easier to understand in the
big wide world when they are set in context.
Engaging students to practical or situated learning activities is a good avenue
to develop 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication, creativity and
the twin goals of the K to 12 Basic Education Mathematics Curriculum which are
critical thinking and problem solving.
Math Trail is one good learning activity that provides an in-depth learning
experience to students through a walk or a tour in a collaborative manner (Shoaf,
Pollak, & Schneider, 2004). Conducting Math Trail enhances learners’ speed and
precision in data gathering, measurement and following instructions. Furthermore,
students’ higher order thinking skills are improved through games and problem
solving activities.
II. DESCRIPTION:
Math Trail is a team contest defined by a sequence of stops in which students
examine the environment and use mathematical concepts that were taught in the
classroom. It constitutes learning activities outside the classroom that provides
students with atmosphere of adventure, exploration, discovery and practical
application of knowledge and skills. In this activity, students observe, measure,
collect and record and interpret data to solve the given problems.

Inquiry has been identified as a critical component of the new K-12
Mathematics curriculum towards achieving the twin goals (Problem Solving and
Critical Thinking). Through this activity, students not only deepen their
understanding of the content of mathematics but also “produce” their own
mathematics within their universe of knowledge (UPNISMED; SEI, 2007). Further,
through this activity, students will be exposed to unsolved problems which allow
them to perform the work of mathematicians – looking at patterns, noticing
properties, and creating definitions or conjectures to explain their observations
(Miller, C. &. Shaw, D., 2011).
II. DESCRIPTION
A mathematical investigation is defined as an inquiry into a mathematical
situation, the topic of which may arise from real life or a mathematically designed
problem. Students are required to apply familiar skills and concepts, to the
unfamiliar situation of the investigation (Reid and Wright, 1994). Moreover, it is an
exploration of an open–ended mathematical situation where the student is free to
choose what aspects of the situation he or she would do. Whatever claims or
justifications are made as a result of the investigation, these are communicated in
written or oral form for further evaluation (UP NISMED, 2007; Bastow, B. et al.,
1994). Attached herewith is the complete background and procedures in coming up
with a Mathematical Investigation output.

of solving efficiently and quickly. Competitions for speed cubing is structured. The
most famous being the 3 x 3 x 3 puzzle or Rubik’s Cube. For most puzzles, solving
entails performing a series of moves that alters a scrambled puzzle into a state in
which every face of the puzzle is a single solid color.
In this competitions, speed cubing enable students to develop their patience-
to have fun time learning how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. Memorization- which able to
learn new algorithms to solve the cube and memorize sequences. Spatial reasoning-
the ability to distinguish patterns/sequences of cubes from each other easily.

Creative teachers have a passion for finding the good in every situation. They

To be creative in teaching pedagogy and innovative in the right materials use
are important for a teacher to have a smooth teaching – learning process in the
classroom.
One of the jobs of teachers is selecting instructional materials that will fit each
students’ performance. There are many kinds of instructional materials but some of
the most used ones is the teacher- made resources and Instructional materials helps
to create a good teacher. It can provide a high degree of interest for a learner, serves
as aid communication between the teacher and the learners, and can enhance

While it is important for students to master skills through textbook exercises,
it is also crucial that they learn to interpret and find reasonable solutions for
problems inspired by real-life phenomena. Students need to realize that, for example
consultants hired by a company to devise business strategies are not given a set of
mathematics problems to solve. Rather, their tasks include interpreting the problem,
distilling important factors, using appropriate mathematics, and reporting back to
the company with possible solutions. So, in order to consider mathematics as a
creative and complex endeavor, students need to be exposed to problems that are
based on real life phenomena, are open to interpretation, and are amenable to
multiple problem-solving strategies. Mathematical Modeling (MM) problems provide
just such an opportunity (Munakata 2006).
II. DESCRIPTION:
Mathematical Modeling is a mathematical investigation of a real world
situation. It is an evolving process which attempts to match reality with symbolic
representation in order to understand the situation better. This activity is designed
to formulate a mathematical model which is a mathematical representation of a real-
world situation. Thus mathematical modeling can enable a teacher to teach
mathematics through problem solving, for problem solving, and teach problem
solving strategies (Ulep, 2005). Attached herewith is the complete background and
procedures in coming up with a Mathematical Modeling output.
