Guiding our Teachers: A Briefer on Using The Math MELCs

About the Process

Though the country is placed under health emergency brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Department of Education strongly believes that education
must continue and not be hampered despite this global crisis. Learners should be given opportunities for learning experiences to continually develop
foundational concepts and skills which are crucial in their formative years.

To ensure continuous learning of young Filipino learners in spite of shortened academic year, the Department of Education, through the Bureau of Curriculum
Development-Curriculum Standards Development Division, identified the most essential learning competencies (MELCs) per quarter of each grade level for all
learning areas. This is to ensure that the grade level standards with its corresponding content and performance standards are covered and are still achieved.

Hence, the Bureau specialists considered ENDURANCE as a crierion in identifying the MELCS in Mathematics (Grades 1-10, SHS subjects). Endurance as a
criterion is necessary for lifelong learning. In classroom instruction, this happens when concepts and skills that play an important part in the succeeding lessons,
consequently building a solid foundation to acquiring higher skills. This is also in recognition of competencies articulated in the Math curriculum that once
mastered, learners are better problem solvers and critical thinkers. As such, the focus of the MELCs is more on the development of numeracy skills and higher-
order thinking skills in Math rather than the development of its content-knowledge. Actions taken on identifying the MELCs may be one or a combination of
the following:
1. Learning competencies having the same mathematical focus or foundational skills are merged/clustered and rephrased.
2. Learning competencies that may be subsumed to a preceding learning competency are recommended for omission.
3. Learning competencies that may be learned through other readily available software are recommended for omission.
4. Learning competencies that can stand alone or need not be clustered or rephrased are retained.

in mind that the mathematical focus is more on developing the learning competency or the math concept and skill rather than on the learning content.
