The Essential Mathematics series was prepared by a group of mathematics educators who assume significant roles in reform movements in basic mathematics education in the country. Their classroom experiences and research-based pedagogical content knowledge were used in the design of instructional materials anchored on the theory of active construction of knowledge. The features of the book include but are not limited to the following:
The Textbook is designed to give students at all developmental levels opportunities to construct their mathematical network by building their procedural skills and developing their conceptual understanding in algebra and geometry. It uses both the inductive and deductive methods to provide learners with rich mathematical experiences.
The Teachers Guide includes lesson plans that help teachers execute the three steps for transformative learning, namely,
(1) exposing students’ prior knowledge through an activating event,
(2) engaging students in activities for critical self-reflection and critical discourse,
(3) guiding the students to make generalizations, apply their new knowledge to different situations, and test the new concepts and skills.
The Syllabus uses the three steps for transformative learning as the framework. It lists the learning competencies, goals, and objectives of every topic, strategies appropriate for the attainment of conceptual understanding and procedural skills, assessment tools that measure if the goals were attained.
