Term 1 Week 9 · Composing and decomposing numbers to 10 · CG Quarter 1, competency 10
| # | The misconception | Where it shows | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Adding new stones | Takes extra stones to make a "new way" | <span class="say" lang="fil">"Ilan ang bato natin? Lima lang. Bilangin muli. Hindi tayo kukuha ng bago — ililipat lang natin."</span> (How many stones do we have? Only five. Count again. We do not take new ones — we only move them.) |
| 2 | Losing the whole | Sees 3 and 2 but no longer remembers the 5 | Push the two piles back together with both hands, then count. Repeat every single time. |
| 3 | Counting parts, not objects | Answers two to <span class="say" lang="fil">"ilan lahat"</span> | <span class="say" lang="fil">"Dalawa ang tumpok — tama. Pero ilan ang bato? Bilangin natin lahat."</span> (Two piles — correct. But how many stones? Let us count them all.) |
| 4 | Only one way | Always 4 and 1 | <span class="say" lang="fil">"Ilipat mo pa ang isa. Ano ang bago?"</span> (Move one more. What is new?) Do not give the answer. |
| 5 | Forgetting zero | Asked how many ways, leaves out 5 and 0 | Put all the stones on one side. <span class="say" lang="fil">"Ilan sa kabila? Wala. Bilang din ba ito? Oo — sero."</span> (How many on the other side? None. Does that count too? Yes — zero.) |
| 6 | Thinking 2 and 3 differs from 3 and 2 | Counts them as two different things | Turn the paper 180°. <span class="say" lang="fil">"Ano ang nagbago? Wala. Ikaw lang ang lumipat."</span> (What changed? Nothing. Only you moved.) This is already competency 12. |
