Assessment Pack — Mathematics 3

Term 1 · MATATAG Curriculum · Key Stage 1 · SY 2026–2027

This is the English copy of a Filipino document. Grade 3 is taught in the mother tongue under MTB-MLE — this is the last year of it — so assessment.md is the version a Grade 3 teacher actually uses, and the papers there are the ones the children sit. Administering these English items would break MTB-MLE. This copy exists for school heads, supervisors and anyone checking the assessment design who does not read Filipino.

1. How assessment works this year

Grade 3 is numerically graded in SY 2026–2027 and in SY 2027–2028. It is the last grade to move to descriptive grading, in SY 2028–2029 — which also makes it the grade with the longest run-up.

The weights — and why none are given here

❌ This repository does not hold the weights for Grade 3, and it will not invent them.

The 20% / 50% / 30% reported in DO No. 015, s. 2026 is attributed to Key Stages 2 and 3 — Grades 4 to 10. Grade 3 is Key Stage 1.

An Electronic Class Record was published for Grades 2 and 3 only within Key Stage 1 — itself evidence that they are numerically graded — but it was not obtained. See source-catalogue.md.

So the teacher enters the three percentages in class-record.html. The record does the arithmetic and refuses to produce a grade until the three add to 100.

Formal written testing at Key Stage 1 should be limited and developmentally appropriate. The end-of-term paper is 20 items, not 40.

Answer key — Summative Test 1

Marking notes.

• Items 13 and 14 are what prepare Week 7. A child who cannot see where the hundreds are cannot find the nearest hundred.
• Item 11 has a zero in the hundreds. Not "two thousand zero seventy".
• Item 15 has three numbers that all begin with 3. The difference is in the second digit, and that is where a child who reads only the first digit fails.

4. Summative Test 2 — Weeks 6–10

15 items · 25 minutes · end of Week 10

Part A · Two distances (items 1–4)

For each number, write the distance from 100, the distance from 200, and the nearer one.

1. 149 ______ / ______ / ______
2. 151 ______ / ______ / ______
3. 108 ______ / ______ / ______
4. 196 ______ / ______ / ______

Part B · Rounding (items 5–10)

9. Round 149 to the nearest thousand. ______
10. Round 8 762 to the nearest hundred. ______

Part C · Comparing and ordering (items 11–15)

11. Fill in =, >, or <: 4 073 ______ 4 703
12. Fill in =, >, or <: 6 200 ______ 6 200

14. Order from largest: 5 060, 5 600, 5 006. ______
15. Which is nearer to 5 000 — 4 900 or 5 200? ______

Answer key — Summative Test 2

Marking notes.

• Items 5 and 6 are the most important pair on the paper. 2 648 is 2 650 to the ten and 2 600 to the hundred. A child who answers 2 700 to item 6 has rounded twice — 2 648 → 2 650 → 2 700 — and item 5, which is correct, will not show it.
• Item 9 is the most surprising on the paper. 149 to the nearest thousand is 0. Distances: 149 against 851. A child who answers 1 000 did not measure.
• Item 8 is the exact half. The agreement is up. Accept 5 000; if 4 000 was written, that is not a measuring error but not knowing the agreement.
• Item 15 is the whole idea of the week without the word "round" in it: which is nearer, and the answer is 100 against 200.
• Part A is marked on the distances, not on the answer. A child with the two distances blank and the third column correct had a 50-50 chance on each.

5. Weekly Check for Week 7

10 items · 15 minutes · Day 5 · Written Work Covers competency Q1 · 12 only.

1. Round 149 to the nearest hundred. ______
2. What are the distances from 149 to 100 and to 200? ______ and ______
3. Round 149 to the nearest ten. ______
4. Why are the answers to items 1 and 3 different? ______
5. Round 2 648 to the nearest hundred. ______
6. Round 4 500 to the nearest thousand. ______
7. Round 196 to the nearest hundred. ______
8. Round 5 049 to the nearest thousand. ______
9. A child said: "149 to the nearest hundred is 200, because it becomes 150 first." Are they right? ______
10. In one sentence: what does rounding ask? ______

Answer key — Weekly Check

Items 2, 4, 5, 9 and 10 are the whole check. A child who is right on 1, 3, 6, 7 and 8 but wrong on those five has procedure without understanding — and that procedure will work until it does not.

Item 9 is the only item that asks about chain rounding directly. If the child wrote "Yes", there is no need to look at the rest: that is the week's lesson, and it has not landed.

6. Performance Task Rubrics

Four criteria × four levels = 16 points. points ÷ 16 × 100.

6.1 Close Enough — Term 1

6.2 The Market Scale — Term 2

6.3 Certain, Impossible, or Likely — Term 3

6.4 Half a Face — Term 3

6.5 Group activity rubrics

The two group activities in offline-activities.md carry their own 12-point rubrics.

7. For SY 2028–2029 — descriptive grading

Grade 3 is the last to move, in SY 2028–2029. The five levels are set down here in advance.

The level is reported on the Learner Progress Report together with a narrative. There are no academic awards at Key Stage 1.

⚠️ The above is reported, not verified. DO No. 015, s. 2026 could not be downloaded. The "What it looks like" column is this pack's work, not the order's.
