experiences.

COOPERATIVE LEARNING 3.It puts premium on active learning achieved by working with fellow learners
as they all engage in a shared task.

PATTERNS AND ALGEBRA 4.A learning content of Mathematics Education that studies patterns,
relationships, and changes among shapes and quantities. It includes the use of algebraic notations and
symbols, equations, and most importantly, functions, to represent and analyze relationships.

PROBLEM SOLVING 5.It refers to a mathematical tasks that have the potential to provide intellectual
challenges for enhancing students’ mathematical understanding and development.

C. ESSAY. Answer the following questions briefly and concisely.(10 points)

1. How will you describe the Mathematics Education in the Philippines?
Answer:
Mathematics Education in the Philippines composed of two goals by developing the student’s
learning. These are the Critical thinking and Problem-Solving. There are also Five Learning Contents of the
Mathematics Education such as:
 Numbers and Number Sense
 Measurement
 Geometry
 Patterns and Algebra
 Statistics and Probability

2. Is it possible to do problem-solving without critical thinking? Why?

Answer:
No, it is not possible to do a problem-solving without critical thinking, because critical thinking is the
process to logically analyze, evaluate, reflect and attempt to solve a problem.
