S.Y. 2014 2015

Teacher: Ms. Ma. Glenda P. Ong
I. Objectives
At the end of the quarter, the student should be able to
1. recognize, select, and use appropriate mathematical facts, concepts, properties, and procedures in practical
and theoretical problems;
2. recognize the usefulness of mathematics and appreciate its application and connection to the different
branches and other disciplines;
3. represent objects, quantities and relationships, and situations using different visual and mathematical
representations and models;
4. apply the use of linear and quadratic functions and inequalities to determine the maximum and minimum
values of a given function.
5. select the appropriate tools/technology, and use these in mathematical inquiries, investigations, problem
solving, mathematical modeling and other mathematical tasks and applications;

III. List of Assessments

Graded Assessments Percentage
1. Long Test on Quadratic Equations 10%
2. Long Test on Quadratic Equations and Functions 20%
3. Long Test on Linear & Quadratic Equations and Inequalities 20%
4. Performance Task on Quadratic Equations 10%
5. Quarterly Summative Test 40%

Non-graded Assessments in the form of practice tests, drills, and journal writing will also be given.


IV. On Non-graded Assessments
A practice test is a set of exercises accomplished by the students in class under test conditions. Although they
are not graded, practice tests, drills and journal writing are considered essential in providing the student, his
parents and the teacher feedback to better prepare the student for the unit test, quarterly summative test and
other forms of graded assessments.
