Re: Math, Spelling and Reading Program
It has been noted by the Administration that the learners have not acquired the level of skills in Math, spelling, and reading that they had pre-pandemic. For this reason, we shall be commencing new academic programs this Third Quarter.
I. Effective the 2nd week of January, recorded weekly asynchronous performance tasks in Math and Spelling will be given in Grades 1 through 10. These are not related to the lessons in Math and English and are on top of asynchronous tasks in the said subjects.
A. Math Grades 4 to 10: These are exercises are 1 number for multiplication and 1 number for division. The answers will be hand-written on paper using a clear pen and the pictures for each item will be sent to the Math teacher through J2e no later than Monday 5:00 p.m. the following week.
Scoring rubrics for each item are as follows:
1 point for the correct solution,
1 point for the correct answer,
1 point for punctuality in the submission of the pictures through J2e
TOTAL = 3 points X 2 items = 6 points in Math performance task every week
B. Math Grade 3: These are games in J2Blast, particularly the practice test of TT Blast. The learner will play 1 game (either practice or test) every weekend as a practice in multiplication. He/She will save his/her score and share with the Math Teacher through J2e no later than Monday 5:00 p.m. the following week.
