Answer: students given a opportunity to develop their intelectual skill in problem solving and their
reasoning . This are the kinder to grade 3

What is the importance of Mathematics at intermediate level?

Answer: students are already build their comprehension about number. This are the grade 4 to 6 .

How Mathematics is evident in children's everyday lives? Give one situation.

Answer: it helps the student development . One year old to five year old this age the start were
child explore the shapes and size etc.. Example are conuting numbers by using hands and by shape we
can use any objects in the house to identify what shape it is .

Explain the meaning of Spiral progression approach in K-12 curriculum and give one example in the
context of teaching elementary Mathematics.

Answer: spiral progression approach the basic principle are introduced in the first grade and
rediscovered in succeding grades in more complex forms .

Give 3 effective strategies in teaching mathematics. Explain each

Answer:

1. Hands-on should be hands- on in teaching mathematics because you need to guide them so that they
can learn .

2. Find the student way if learning so that the children will comportable to learn . Give them time to
explore to have new ideas .

3. Visual aids it is very important to used visual aid because it help the students to learn they easily learn
if they see colorful visual aid and it encourage them to learn . Visuals that are connected to the topic .

Midterm Exam. SSC2

The aim to develop the skills needed in the 21st century to become “functionally literate and developed
Filipino.” The Social Studies curriculum adheres on 6 underlying learning principles and theories of
learning. Choose only two learning principles or theories of learning and give details specifically in the
context of teaching Araling Panlipunan (Social Studies) in elementary level.

Constructivist Approach: A constructivist approach to learning and instruction has been proposed as an
alternative to the objectivist model, which is implicit in all behaviorist and some cognitive approaches to
education. Objectivism sees knowledge as a passive reflection of the external, objective reality. This
implies a process of "instruction," ensuring that the learner gets correct information.

Constructivism Instruction: Educators focus on making connections between facts and fostering new
understanding in students. Instructors tailor their teaching strategies to student responses and
encourage students to analyze, interpret, and predict information. Teachers also rely on open-ended
questions and promote extensive dialogue among students. Assessment in Constructivism: The
elimination of grades and standardized testing. Instead, assessment becomes part of the learning
process so that students play a larger role in judging their own progress.

Give the synopsis of the Eras of the Earth or the Geological Foundation by Felipe Landa Jocano?

Synopsis of geological foundation

by Felipe Landa Jocano

In 1654 Archbishop Ussher of Ireland said that the first man, as well as the universe in which he
lived, was created at nine a.m. on October 26, 4004 B.C. The discovery of remains of extinct animals, of
man-like creatures, and later of early men proved, however, that man appeared on earth somewhat
earlier than Archbishop Ussher suspected. Pre Tertiary times. From geological and paleontological
studies, we know that living things appeared on earth as many as 1,500 million years ago, during the era
known in geology as the Archeozoic, the era when primitive forms of life became recognizable. Followed
by Protozoic, when early life was forms are abounded. The Protozoic is estimated to have extended from
925 to 505 million year ago. Paleozoic have many fossil evidences of plant and animal life, the time
when fish, amphibians, and other marine vertebrates appeared, from about 505 to 205 million years
ago. The Paleozoic was followed by the Mesozoic, which witnessed the predominance of huge reptiles.
Popularly, this era is known as the Age of Reptiles, and it extended from 205 to 75 million years ago. Our
most important material on the evolution of man and his culture is found in the Cenozoic era, or the age
of more advanced forms of animals, about 75 to one million years ago. The Cenozoic is divided into two
major periods: the Tertiary, or the Age of Mammals, and the Quaternary, or the time when modern
forms of man appeared on earth.

From regions south of the archipelago started to enter the country through the high mountain
passages. But this was not a unidirectional movement. Dickerson and associates are of the opinion
(1928:283) that some of the unique animals now present in northern Luzon also moved southward and
entered Celebes during this period. Through the eastern high mountain-ranges connecting Mindanao
with Celebes and possibly with New Guinea, tropical Australian flora, identified by Menrill (Dickerson et
al. 1928:301ff.) entered Mindanao. On the western side, through the Sulu connection, Malaysian forest
trees and some mammalian species moved into the area and spread further changes in the geographical
arrangement of the Philippines and its neighboring areas occurred during the Pliocene, beginning about
12 million years ago. The geological processes which brought about changes on the surface of the earth
and facilitated variation and spread of animals and plants were not sudden occurrences. Thousands of
years were required for a landscape to be notably changed, and for the differentiation of animals from
their original progenitors. When we speak of such events as the elevation and erosion of mountains, the
rise and fall of oceans and continents, and the fluctuation of life zones, we should remember the quality
and magnitude of these events.
3. Why is it important for you to study the book Felipe Landa Jocano, The Beginnings of Filipino Society
and Culture?

Answer : it is important that we know the history of the beginnings of Filipino Society and

Culture , what is the use of being filipino Citizen if we did not know the history . From History we get
more information and it give us more ideas and a lot of questions in mind how it start, how it happens
etc ..
