LESSON 1

MATHEMATICS IN
THE INTERMEDIATE
GRADES
OBJECTIVES:

To understand the purpose of learning

mathematics in the intermediate grades.
INTRODUCTION:

Mathematics as a subject has a unique nature

that demands a special and distinct approach to
make learning interesting, challenging, and fun
for the learners. this unique nature of
mathematics must be learned and understood by
mathematics teachers.
 MATHEMATICS IN THE INTERMEDIATE
GRADES IN THE PHILIPPINES
1. Numbers and Number Sense
concepts of numbers, properties,
operations, estimation, and their
applications.
2. Geometry
properties of two - and three-
dimensional figures and their
relationships, spatial visualization,
reasoning, and geometric modeling and
proofs.
3. Patterns and Algebra
as a strand studies patterns, relationships,
and changes among shapes and quantities;
use of algebraic notations and symbols,
equations, and most importantly, functions,
to represent and analyze relationships.
4. MEASUREMENT
the use of numbers ad measures to
describe, understand, and compare
mathematical and concrete objects; attributes
such as length, mass and weight, capacity,
time, money, and temperature, as well as
applications involving perimeter, area,
surface area, volume, and angle measure.
5. STATISTIC AND PROBABILITY
as a strand studies is all about developing
skills in collecting and organizing data using
charts, tables, and graphs, understanding,
analyzing, and interpreting data. dealing with
uncertainty and making predictions about
outcomes.
 QUESTIONS?
1. What is the purpose of learning these standards in the
intermediate levels?
2. What is the purpose of learning whole number up to
10,000,000?
3. What is the purpose of learning to measure the area,
perimeter, circumference, surface area, and volume of two-
three dimensional objects?
4. What is the purpose of learning to collect and present data in
tables, bars, and pie graphs?
 PURPOSES
1. It has roles in achieving the goals of
mathematics education.
2. They are necessary prerequisites to higher
level of mathematics.
3. To develop lifelong skills, so that students
will be ready to interact with the real world.
 MATHEMATICS ANXIETY
“I AM NOT GOOD AT MATH.”
“I FEAR ATTENDING MY MATH CLASS.”
“THERE IS AN UPCOMING MATH TEST,
I AM STRESSED OUT!”
