For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics 4 Module on Solving non-routine problems

involving multiplication of whole numbers including money using appropriate
problem solving strategies and tools!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
