INTRODUCTION
This Handbook aims to provide the general public – parents, students, researchers, and other stakeholders – an overview of the Mathematics program at the secondary level. Those in education, however, may use it as a reference for implementing the 2002 secondary education curriculum, or as a source document to inform policy and guide practice.
For quick reference, the Handbook is outlined as follows:
* The description defines the focus and the emphasis of the learning area as well as the language of instruction used.
* The unit credit indicates the number of units assigned to a learning area computed on a 40-minute per unit credit basis and which shall be used to evaluate a student’s promotion to the next year level.
* The time allotment specifies the number of minutes allocated to a learning area on a daily (or weekly, as the case may be) basis.
* The expectancies refer to the general competencies that the learners are expected to demonstrate at the end of each year level.
* The scope and sequence outlines the content, or the coverage of the learning area in terms of concepts or themes, as the case may be.
* The suggested strategies are those that are typically employed to develop the content, build skills, and integrate learning.
* The materials include those that have been approved for classroom use. The application of information and communication technology is encouraged, where available.
* The grading system specifies how learning outcomes shall be evaluated and the aspects of student performance which shall be rated.
* The learning competencies are the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that the students are expected to develop or acquire during the
