Assessment Pack — Mathematics 4, Term 1
Everything needed to assess and grade Term 1: a Table of Specifications, three examination instruments with answer keys, a weekly written check, and rubrics for the performance tasks that carry half the grade.
| Learning Area | Mathematics |
| Grade Level | Grade 4 (Key Stage 2) |

| Governing order | DO No. 015, s. 2026 |
| Companion | class-record.html computes the grade from these scores |
⚠️ Read this before using any instrument here.
The grading rules are reported, not read. DO No. 015, s. 2026 could not be downloaded in the environment this was built in — see
source-catalogue.md. Weights, the examination subdivision, the item-count rule and the adjusted transmutation all come from secondary reporting corroborated across sources. Confirm against the order before computing a real grade.Only Week 7 has shipped teaching artifacts. Items for Weeks 1–6 and 8–11 are written against the CG competency itself, not against a lesson this repository provides. They are valid against the curriculum; they are not aligned to teaching you can read here. Check them against what you actually taught before using them.
1. How assessment works in this course
Mathematics is a Key Stage 2 core learning area, so the reported weights are:
| Component | Weight | What goes in it, in this course |
|---|---|---|
| Written Works | 20% | The weekly checks (§6), worksheet sections, and written problem-solving with reasoning shown |
| Performance Tasks | 50% | The term performance task (§7), the two group activities, oral explanations, and the game's Teacher Panel record |
| Examinations | 30% | Summative Test 1 (30% of this component) · Summative Test 2 (30%) · Term Examination (40%) |
Where each instrument sits in Term 1
| Week | Instrument | Component | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | Summative Test 1 — 20 items (§3) | Examinations | Weeks 1–5 |
| 7 | Weekly check — 10 items (§6) | Written Works | Week 7 |
| 10 | Summative Test 2 — 20 items (§4) | Examinations | Weeks 6–10 |
| End-of-term block | Term 1 Examination — 40 items (§5) | Examinations | Weeks 1–11 |
| End-of-term block | Barangay Data Board (§7) | Performance Tasks | Weeks 1–9 content |
The item-count rule. A single Summative Test may not exceed half the item count of the Term Examination. The Term Examination here is 40 items, so each Summative Test is capped at 20 — and both sit exactly at the cap. If you shorten the Term Examination, shorten the Summative Tests with it.
2. Table of Specifications — Term 1 Examination
40 items. Required by DO No. 015, s. 2026, and teacher-authored — this one is a starting point, not an issued document. Adjust the weighting to the time you actually spent.
| Week | Content | CG | Items | Item nos. | R | U | Ap | An | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Angles — types, measuring, drawing | Q1 · 1–2 | 5 | 1–5 | 2 | 2 | 1 | — | 12.5 |
| 3–4 | Triangles and quadrilaterals — properties, classifying | Q1 · 3–5 | 6 | 6–11 | 2 | 3 | 1 | — | 15.0 |
| 5–6 | Perimeter — quadrilaterals and composite figures | Q1 · 6–7 | 5 | 12–16 | — | 1 | 3 | 1 | 12.5 |
| 7 | Whole numbers to 1 000 000 — reading, writing, place value, value | Q1 · 8–9 | 6 | 17–22 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 15.0 |
| 8 | Comparing and rounding | Q1 · 10–11 | 4 | 23–26 | 1 | 1 | 2 | — | 10.0 |
| 9 | Estimating; addition and subtraction to 1 000 000 | Q1 · 12–13 | 5 | 27–31 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 12.5 |
| 10 | Multiplication; estimating products | Q2 · 1–2 | 5 | 32–36 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 12.5 |
| 11 | Division; estimating quotients | Q2 · 4–5 | 4 | 37–40 | — | — | 2 | 2 | 10.0 |
| Total | 40 | 8 | 12 | 14 | 6 | 100 |
Cognitive levels: R = Remembering (20%) · U = Understanding (30%) · Ap = Applying (35%) · An = Analysing (15%).
Item allocation follows teaching time, one to two items per instructional week, weighted up where a week carries two competencies.

Answer key — Summative Test 2
| # | Answer | # | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 30 m | 11 | 300 000 |
| 2 | 40 m | 12 | 5 000 + 3 000 = 8 000 |
| 3 | Forty-seven thousand, two hundred five | 13 | 90 000 − 30 000 = 60 000 |
| 4 | 306 040 | 14 | 570 787 |

| 9 | > | 19 | 70 × 40 = 2 800 |
| 10 | 500 000 | 20 | 10 000 sacks |
Item 5 and item 6 are a matched pair — the same number, one asking for place value and one for value. A learner who answers "ten thousands" to both, or "70 000" to both, has the conflation that Week 7 exists to fix. Mark them together and read them together.

Marking notes
- Items 19 and 20 are the matched place-value / value pair. Read them together.
- Estimation items (27, 28, 34, 35, 39) award the point for the rounded computation, not for a number close to the exact answer. A learner who computes exactly and then rounds has not estimated — no point, and a note in the margin.
- Word problems (16, 31, 36, 40) — award the point for a correct answer with the working shown. A bare correct number with no working scores the point but flags a learner to watch.
- Unit omissions (cm, m, ₱) cost nothing on a first offence in Term 1; note the pattern.
6. Weekly check — Week 7
Written Works · 10 items · 10 points · 20 minutes
Sat on Day 5 of Week 7, immediately after Group Activity 2. Tied directly to the shipped lesson
in lesson-plan.md and lesson-plan-ilaw.md.
Name: ________________________ Section: __________ Date: __________
- What is the place value of the 6 in 46 208?
- What is the value of the 4 in 46 208?
- Write 52 730 in words.

Answer key — Week 7 weekly check
| # | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1 | thousands |
| 2 | 40 000 |
| 3 | Fifty-two thousand, seven hundred thirty |
| 4 | 80 406 |
| 5 | 900 |
| 6 | thousands |
| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | Three hundred six thousand, five hundred |
| 9 | hundred thousands |
| 10 | Because they stand in different places — the first 5 is in the hundreds place and is worth 500, the second is in the ones place and is worth 5. (Accept any wording showing that position determines worth.) |
Item 10 is the diagnostic item. A learner can score 9/10 mechanically and still not understand. Read the sentences — and note that items 1 and 2 are the matched pair again.
| Score | Reading | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 9–10 | Mastered | Extension — six digits, inverse tasks |
| 7–8 | Approaching | Review the missed item type in the Week 8 warm-up |
| 6 or below | Not yet | Small-group re-teach with digit tiles during Week 8 independent work |
7. Performance task rubrics
Performance Tasks carry 50% — the largest single component, and the one most often assessed
without a written rubric. These are the four term tasks proposed in syllabus.md
§4, one per content-map row.
Four tasks, three terms. The content map has four rows and two of them straddle a term boundary, so the tasks do not fall one per term. §6 of the syllabus calls them "the three term performance tasks", which is loose — schedule each task at the end of the row it belongs to.
Every rubric below is 4 criteria × 4 levels = 16 points. To convert to a percentage for the class record: score ÷ 16 × 100.
Levels: 4 = Exemplary · 3 = Proficient · 2 = Developing · 1 = Beginning
7.1 Barangay Data Board — Term 1
Gather five real quantities about the barangay (population, households, distance to the municipal hall in metres, budget in pesos, learners enrolled). Write each in numerals and in words, compare them using =, < and >, round them to the nearest hundred thousand, and present the set with a written justification.
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accuracy of data | All five quantities are real, sourced, and correctly recorded | Five quantities, at most one recording slip | Three or four quantities, or several slips | Fewer than three, or invented figures |
| Numerals and words | All five written correctly both ways, hyphens and period spacing correct | One or two convention errors | Words attempted for all five but frequently wrong | Words missing or unreadable |
| Comparing and rounding | All comparisons and roundings correct, including a case that rounds down | All correct, or one slip | Comparisons correct, rounding unreliable | Neither reliable |
| Justification | Explains why a rounding went the way it did, in the learner's own words | Explains correctly but formulaically | States what was done without saying why | No justification |
7.2 Recipe Fractions — Term 1 into Term 2
Halve and double a family recipe, recording every adjusted measurement as a fraction, converting between units where needed, and justifying each conversion.
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fraction accuracy | Every halved and doubled quantity correct, improper fractions and mixed numbers handled | One or two errors | Halving correct, doubling unreliable (or the reverse) | Most quantities wrong |
| Unit conversion | All conversions correct, including one across measures (mL↔L or g↔kg) | Conversions correct within a measure | Attempts conversions, frequent errors | Conversions absent |
| Recording | A clear table a cook could actually follow | Organised, minor gaps | Present but hard to follow | Disorganised |
| Justification | Explains why a conversion was needed, not only how it was done | Explains how, correctly | Names the operation only | No justification |
7.3 Pattern Cloth — Term 2 into Term 3
Design a symmetric banner for a barangay event, then describe the fractional area each colour occupies and order those fractions.
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Symmetry | Design is genuinely symmetric and the line of symmetry is identified | Symmetric, line not marked | Approximately symmetric | Not symmetric |
| Fractional area | Every colour's share stated correctly and the shares sum to one whole | Shares correct, sum not checked | Some shares correct | Shares guessed |
| Ordering | Fractions ordered correctly, including unlike denominators | Ordered correctly with like denominators | Partial ordering | Not ordered |
| Presentation | Design and mathematics are both legible to someone who was not there | Clear | Needs explanation to follow | Unclear |
7.4 Classroom Survey — Term 3
Pose a question, collect data with a time element, present it as a table and a single line graph, and write three statements the graph supports and one it does not.
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Question and data | A question worth asking, with data actually collected over time | Reasonable question, data collected | Question vague or data thin | No usable data |
| Table | Complete, labelled, units given | Complete, labelling gaps | Partial | Absent |
| Line graph | Axes labelled and scaled correctly, points plotted accurately, line joined | Correct with minor scaling issues | Recognisable graph, several errors | Not a line graph |
| Statements | Three supported statements and a genuinely unsupported one, correctly identified as such | Three supported statements, fourth weak | One or two supported statements | Statements not tied to the graph |
The fourth criterion in 7.4 is the one that matters. Identifying a claim the data does not support is the whole point of the Data and Probability strand, and it is the item most often dropped when a teacher is short of time.
7.5 Group activity rubrics
The two group activities have their own 12-point rubrics, already written where the activities are described:
- Group Activity 1 — Barangay Number Line ·
offline-activities.md - Group Activity 2 — Place Value Market ·
offline-activities.md
Both feed the Performance Tasks component. Convert with score ÷ 12 × 100.
8. What is deliberately not here
Listed so it is a decision rather than an omission.
| Not included | Why |
|---|---|
| Terms 2 and 3 examination papers | Term 1 is the worked example. The TOS in §2 is the template; the syllabus §5 gives the content for the other two terms |
| A transmutation table printed here | It changes between school years. class-record.html holds it, with the year switch |
| DepEd's own test papers | Importing them would add licensing ambiguity. A TOS is teacher-authored, so generating rather than obtaining is the correct move |
| Item analysis / difficulty indices | Requires real learner data. Add them after the first sitting |
