Subject Name: Mathematics
Grade Level: Grade 4
Curriculum Goal:
The main goal of the curriculum is for Filipino learners to become mathematically proficient and critical problem solvers.
In mathematics education, problem solving has been considered as a goal, as a process, and as a basic skill. The processes involved in solving
mathematical problems, from recognizing and understanding a problem to modelling the problem through different representations, to
planning a solution, to executing the solution, and to finally checking whether the problem has been solved, demonstrate that problem solving
is a very important life skill for 21st-century citizens to possess.
Key Stage Standards: Key Stage 2
Key Stage 2 (KS 2) of the Mathematics curriculum focuses on Grades 4 to 6 learners. At this stage, the curriculum extends numbers, algebra,
measures, geometry, data, and probability. The coverage includes more complex properties, operations, and problems in different contexts that
demand efficient written and mental methods of calculation.
The learning standards of the KS 2 Mathematics curriculum aim to ensure that learners:
use efficient mental and written mathematical concepts, operations, procedures, relationships, and tools to solve routine and non-routine
●
real-world problems;
reason and communicate using precise mathematical language to discuss ideas, investigate problems, and justify solutions;
●
exhibit willingness and confidence to explore alternative solutions, and to take risks necessary to solve real-world problems;
●
acquire problem-solving and critical thinking skills through real, situated, or purely mathematical problems; and
●
enhance appreciation, curiosity, interest, creativity, and other desir
●
able values, attitudes and dispositions in mathematics.
At the end of Grade 6, the learner demonstrates knowledge, skills, and understanding in relation to the curriculum content domain Number
and Algebra (the four operations with decimals; the four operations with different combinations of fractions, whole numbers, and mixed
numbers; ratio and proportion; percentages, and their relationships with fractions and decimals; exponential form, including calculation using
