with familiarizing math rules
and solving mathematical
problems”

public school teachers from the
different divisions in the Phils.
Thank you Dr. Danilo Sirias for
the teaching strategy you have
imparted which I enjoyed
sharing in the Regional Mass
Training for Grade 9
Mathematics Teachers. I owe
you the success of my
demonstration teaching!
May God bless you in your
undertakings!

Teaching the out-of-school
youth & adults is really a
difficult task – so many things
to be considered. But
honestly, after Problem
Solving Maps Seminar, my
discussion with my learners
are now more interesting than
my previous years of teaching
in Alternative Learning
System. I will also apply the
techniques I learned in
teaching other subjects.

MARILYN C. RESURRECCION
Tugatog Elementary School The use of conclusion graph
amazed me. It is now very
easy handling Grade 3 for the
first time. It is very effective
strategy for students who are
fond of discoveries…They are
more active in class
discussion… they can easily
express their thoughts.
Multi-rule branch is applicable to a more
complicated topic. It is a less talk approach
And the pupils easily understand the lesson
step by step. It also developed critical thinking, they can
state the rules by their own through their own examples.
Undertake more training for teachers
starting October 2014
Organize Lesson Study Sessions for PSM
application
Conduct more classroom-based
researches on math performance
