PIVOT 4A BUDGET OF WORK (BOW) IN MATHEMATICS

A. Features/Elements

The PIVOT 4A Budget of Work for Mathematics (PIVOT 4A BOW-

Mathematics) merges the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) issued
by the Department of Education and the PIVOT 4A BOW of DepEd CALABARZON.
This is a resource material for teaching Mathematics that contains learning
competencies from Grade
1 to Grade 10 as prescribed by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum of the
Department of Education.

The document contains the quarterly learning domains of each grade level
(column 1), the MELCs represented by the number which also refers to week
number it should be undertaken in class (column 2), specific learning
competencies pertinent to each learning domain which are also the enabling
competencies for each MELC (column 3), and the number of days each learning
competency should be taught in class (column 4).

The number of days suggests the number of class time the

teacher/facilitator should devote to the learning competency. On a quarterly
basis, the number of days allotted is 40 class days.

The PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics is grouped according to grade levels and

learning domains on a quarterly basis.

B.How to Use this PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics?

The PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics is a resource for teachers and could be

used as reference for the development of lesson plans and lesson logs.

The PIVOT 4A BOW in Mathematics is composed of four (4) columns. The

first column is intended for the Quarter; the second one is for the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC); the third for the Learning
Competencies; and the last one for the No. of Days Taught.

In using the PIVOT 4A BOW in Mathematics, it is important to understand the

figure above marked by the following specifications:

A. Quarter
B. Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC)
C. Learning Competencies
D. Number of Days Taught
E. Enabling Competencies. These were taken from the K to 12 Curriculum
Guide which teachers shall use in bridging the lessons especially in
reaching and targeting the Most Essential Learning Competencies
(MELC).
 Page 3 of 349

F. Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC). In each PIVOT 4A

BOW, the MELC is symbolized or marked by numbers. These identified
MELCs may be of the same variant of the K to 12 LCs or enabling
competencies. But in some cases, MELCs were produced by
merging/fusing some LCs or enabling competencies.

In using the materials, the teachers should

 look for the grade level being handled;

 identify the current quarter and week number which is equivalent to the
MELC number for the particular quarter;
 identify the learning competencies to be taught during the day or week; and
 observe the number of days the learning competencies should be taught.

In writing the lesson plan or lesson log, the teacher should specify the
learning competencies and note the number of days as specified and suggested
by the document.
