Split it, and the whole is still the same.
That is the entire lesson. The bars below never change length — only the split moves.
For the teacher — five documents
All five have an English version. It exists for review — by a school head, a district supervisor, or a teacher in a non-Tagalog region.
1Course Syllabus
The full year across three terms, 33 weeks, all 47 guide competencies with a coverage check, grading weights, and a verification table. In this copy the competencies are quoted from the guide, not translated.
syllabus.en.html · Filipino2aLesson Plan — ILAW
The whole week, in the format you file. The single template DO 009 s. 2026 prescribes for SY 2026–2027, replacing both the Daily Lesson Log and the Detailed Lesson Plan. Five days, with remediation and enrichment. Spoken lines stay in Filipino.
lesson-plan-ilaw.en.html · Filipino2bLesson Plan — Lesson Exemplar
Day 1, in depth. One 45-minute session in the MATATAG Lesson Exemplar format. Exact timings, six anticipated errors and the response to each, a marking key, and a route with no electricity. Spoken lines stay in Filipino.
lesson-plan.en.html · Filipino+Assessment Pack
No numerical mark anywhere — Grade 1 is graded descriptively this year. The five levels applied to every competency in the term, an observation record, an anecdotal log, a developmentally appropriate check, and the Learner's Progress Report layout.
assessment.en.html · Filipino3Offline Activities
Three individual and two group activities. Stones, bottle caps and cardboard only. The group activities name a role for every member and work in a class of 45+ in fixed seating.
offline-activities.en.html · FilipinoFor the class — four artifacts
Shown directly to the children. Filipino only — there is no English version, and that is deliberate.
4Slides Filipino
Fourteen slides in one file. Almost wordless — pictures, bars and numerals only. Each slide carries a timing hint; prints as a hand-out.
slides.html5Game — Buo at Bahagi Filipino
A game for the whole class, not one child at a time. Three rounds of four questions. The class answers together; the teacher presses. No timer, no losing. A Teacher Panel at the end.
game.html6Learner Worksheet Filipino
The only thing the child actually holds. One printable A4 page: ten-frames to fill, number bonds, splitting stones, and how many altogether? No written instructions — the teacher says them, because the class cannot read yet. The answer key is on screen only and never prints.

+Wall Chart Filipino
One A4 landscape sheet to print, laminate and hang for the whole term. Still readable after a black-and-white photocopy.
wall-chart.png · PDFWhy it is designed this way
Six and seven year olds, forty-five children, one screen.
- The class cannot read yet. The guide says so itself — problems are “given orally or in pictures.” No instruction here depends on a written word.
- The whole never changes length. If it shifted even slightly to suit the layout, the entire argument collapses — the child's eye is the proof.
- Five is literally half of ten on the wall chart, because that is true. Lengths are not equalised to look tidy.
- Three colours only — whole, first part, second part. The first part is always on the left, so it still reads in black and white.
- No losing, no timer, no ranking. A child who has felt they lost at mathematics has learned something, and it is not mathematics.
- 88 px is the smallest tap target, not 44 — hand control is not there yet at this age.
Verification
The grade level standard, the domains, and all four quarters come from the official curriculum guide committed to this repository (DepEd, August 2023, pp. 25–28).
✅ The guide is written in English, and so is this copy. That means §2 and §4 of this syllabus are quotations, not translations — which is the reason to review the course here rather than in the Filipino copy. The Filipino set remains the one that gets taught, and its translations have still not been checked by a Filipino-speaking teacher.
