MELCs DEFINITIVE BUDGET OF WORK (DBOW) IN MATHEMATICS 1 TO 10 FOR SY 2021-2022
This Definitive Budget of Work in Mathematics for Grades 1 to 10 is based on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs)
in Mathematics which were sub-tasked to ensure the full coverage of the MELCs given the number of school days in the school
calendar in this time of pandemic. This aims to serve as a guide to Mathematics teachers in the National Capital Region on the
topics they need to teach in order to meet the standards of the curriculum.
Features/Elements
The MELCs Definitive Budget of Work (DBOW) in Mathematics has the following components:

A: is the quarter covered by the DBOW on the particular grade level in Mathematics
B: lists down the content standard/s for the particular math domain
C: lists down the performance standard/s for the particular math domain
D: is the continuous numbering of MELCs in the grade level. In this way, it would be easier to identify any MELC in any grade level.
It can be noted that there are 544 MELCs in Mathematics from Grades 1 to 10 which is breakdown as follows:
Grade 1 – 38 Grade 3 – 56 Grade 5 – 75 Grade 7 – 53 Grade 9 – 46
Grade 2 – 54 Grade 4 – 67 Grade 6 – 62 Grade 8 – 52 Grade 10 – 41
E: is the list of MELCs in the identified quarter. Note that those in bold font are the original MELCs issued by the central office.
F: is the unpacked/sub-tasked MELCs broken down into smaller learning competency (LC) distributed to the number of days
indicated in the time allotment of MELCs. However, most of the time, the DBOW writers veered away from the time allotment
since the issued MELCs of the Central Office contains 9 weeks per quarter in Mathematics, but the school calendar only has 8
weeks per quarter. There are also instances that the MELC cannot be unpacked since the MELC is already too specific.
G: shows the number of days the specified MELCs should be taught.
H: contains the remarks indicating the prerequisite skills that needed to be taught prior to the teaching of the specified MELC. It
also contains tips and advice on how to better foster among learners the mastery of the indicated MELC.
Prerequisite competencies that were indicated in column H came from the quarterly MELCs audit conducted by the Curriculum
and Learning Management Division (CLMD) of DepEd-NCR during the SY 2020-2021. The MELCs audit showed competencies that
were not covered by teachers in the said school year. This is to address learning gaps that might occur since the mathematics
curriculum is in a spiral progression.
This MELCs DBOW in Mathematics is a guide for teachers that they can use as a reference in crafting their learning plan as
well as the Weekly Home Learning Plan for learners.
Note that the DBOW only covers instructional time – the time devoted for teaching. The DBOW does not include the time for
orientations, formative and summative assessments, remediation, and other teaching and learning activities to give way for the
academic freedom of teachers. According to the school calendar, there are around 52 days every quarter and yet the maximum
number of instructional days that can be seen in this DBOW is only 40 days. This means that the teacher has at least 12 days to
devote for more opportunities for exercises through the formative assessment, orientation, conduct of summative assessments,
intervention activities, etc.
To illustrate this, Day 1 (September 13, first day of classes) doesn’t mean to be the Day 1 of instruction here in DBOW since we
all know that orientation is usually conducted during the first day of class. Hence, Day 1 of instruction might fall on Day 2 or
even Day 3 of the school year depending on the class schedule of the learner and the strategy of the teacher.
