General Instructional Propositions:
l Refer to the Ministry Guideline for general and specific expectations.
l The classroom teacher may adjust the assignment problems and may give some more assignment questions from other reference material.
l The application of the-state-of –art technology, such as graphing calculators, computer software and other digital and electronic devices is fully promoted in the teaching-learning process in order to follow the trend of the twenty-first century technology era. Graphing calculators are allowed and encouraged to use in all the tests and projects as well as in the final exam if quantity availability is adequate. The memory of the calculators must be cleared before the tests and exam.
l Assignments are checked from time to time according to the classroom teacher’s own plan.
l Team working is promoted to encourage peer tutoring.
l Emphases are put on the problem finding and problem solving skills and strategies. Students are encouraged on seeking more than one different methods for solving the same and/or similar typical problems.
l Culminating projects are designed to serve the purpose of all the expectations especially, the TIPS and Communications.
l Careers and further studies connections are discussed in class whenever relevant.
