Assessment Pack — Mathematics 5
Term 1 · MATATAG Curriculum · Key Stage 2 · SY 2026–2027
Everything a Grade 5 Mathematics teacher has to produce for Term 1 assessment, written out in full: the Table of Specifications, three complete papers with answer keys, the Week 7 weekly check, and the rubrics for every performance task the syllabus suggests.
| Learning Area | Mathematics |
| Grade Level | Grade 5 |
| Term | Term 1 (weeks 1–11) |
| Assessment Basis | DO No. 015, s. 2026 |
| Key Stage | Key Stage 2 — numerical grades apply |
⚠️ The weights and the transmutation rule are reported, not read. DO No. 015, s. 2026 could not be downloaded in the environment this was built in — see
source-catalogue.md. The item content below is this repository's own work and stands on its own; the weights and transmutation must be confirmed against the order before a real grade is computed. Everything computed from them is implemented inclass-record.html, which shows its working.
1. How assessment works this year
| Component | Weight | What goes in it |
|---|---|---|
| Written Works | 20% | Weekly checks, worksheets, quizzes, seatwork with reasoning shown |
| Performance Tasks | 50% | The term performance task, group activities, oral explanations |
| Examinations | 30% | Summative Test 1 · Summative Test 2 · Term Examination |
The Examinations component subdivides:
| Instrument | Share of the 30% | When | Covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Summative Test 1 | 30% | End of Week 5 | Weeks 1–5 |
| Summative Test 2 | 30% | End of Week 10 | Weeks 6–10 |
| Term 1 Examination | 40% | End-of-term block | Weeks 1–11 |
Performance Tasks carry half the grade. That is the single largest change from DO No. 8,
s. 2015, and it means the two group activities in
offline-activities.md are not enrichment — they are half the
evidence.
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 is capped at 20. Both are written at 20.
The Table of Specifications is the teacher's, not DepEd's. Nothing in the reported guidance prescribes a TOS layout for Grade 5. §2 is this repository's, offered as a working starting point. Adjust the weighting to what you actually taught.
2. Table of Specifications — Term 1 Examination
40 items · 11 weeks · cognitive levels Remembering · Understanding · Applying · Analysing
| Weeks | Content | CG | Items | Item nos. | R | U | Ap | An | % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 12- and 24-hour time | Q1 · 1–3 | 6 | 1–6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | — | 15.0 |
| 4 | World time zones | Q1 · 4–5 | 4 | 7–10 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 10.0 |
| 5 | The GMDAS rules | Q1 · 6 | 5 | 11–15 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 12.5 |
| 6–7 | Multiplying fractions — models and rule | Q1 · 7–8 | 8 | 16–23 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 1 | 20.0 |
| 8 | Multi-step problems with fraction multiplication | Q1 · 9 | 5 | 24–28 | — | 1 | 2 | 2 | 12.5 |
| 9 | Area of parallelogram, triangle, trapezoid | Q1 · 10–12 | 7 | 29–35 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 17.5 |
| 10–11 | Dividing fractions | Q2 · 1–2 | 5 | 36–40 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 12.5 |
| Total | 40 | 8 | 11 | 14 | 7 | 100 |
Why the weighting sits where it does. Weeks 6–8 together take 32.5% of the paper for three weeks of teaching, which is deliberate over-weighting: fraction multiplication is the competency the rest of Grade 5 and the whole of Grade 6 rest on. Time and time zones take 25% for four weeks — under-weighted, because they are self-contained and do not carry forward.
3. Summative Test 1 — Weeks 1–5
20 items · 40 minutes · end of Week 5 Covers 12- and 24-hour time, world time zones, and the GMDAS rules.

Answer key — Summative Test 1
| # | Answer | # | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 15:00 | 11 | 09:00 |
| 2 | 7:45 a.m. | 12 | 13:00 |
| 3 | 9:30 p.m. | 13 | 04:00 in Riyadh. Not reasonable — the relative would be asleep. Accept any answer giving 04:00 with a reason about sleeping hours |
| 4 | 00:15 | 14 | 24 |
| 5 | 12:00 | 15 | 36 |
| 6 | Neither — they are the same time | 16 | 18 |
| 7 | 2 hours 45 minutes | 17 | 24 |
| 8 | 21:25 | 18 | 11 |
| 9 | 14:00 (no difference) | 19 | 84 |
| 10 | 10:00 | 20 | (4 + 6) × 2 = 20 |
Marking notes.
- Item 6 is the item that separates conversion from understanding. A learner who answers "18:20" has converted nothing — they have compared the digits.
- Item 13 carries 2 marks: 1 for 04:00, 1 for a reason. A learner who gets the time wrong but reasons correctly from their own wrong time gets the second mark.
- Item 20 has one answer. Learners who write
4 + (6 × 2)have not changed anything.
4. Summative Test 2 — Weeks 6–10

- A triangle has an area of 24 sq cm and a base of 8 cm. What is its height? ______
- A leaf is traced on a 1 cm grid. It covers 14 whole squares and 6 half squares. Estimate its area. ______
Part D · Dividing fractions (items 18–20)
- How many halves are there in 4? ______
- 3 ÷ ¼ = ______
- ½ ÷ ¼ = ______
Answer key — Summative Test 2
| # | Answer | # | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ⅓ | 11 | ¾ |
| 2 | 3/10 | 12 | 40 sq cm |
| 3 | ½ | 13 | 42 sq cm |
| 4 | ¼ | 14 | 32 sq cm |
| 5 | 6 | 15 | The dotted line — the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides |
| 6 | ⅝ × ¾ | 16 | 6 cm |
| 7 | 1 | 17 | 17 sq cm |
| 8 | ½ | 18 | 8 |
| 9 | 3/10 m | 19 | 12 |
| 10 | ₱200 | 20 | 2 |
Marking notes.
- Item 7 produces exactly 1, which learners distrust. It is correct: 3/2 × 2/3 = 6/6.
- Item 15 is the single most predictive item on the paper. Learners who name the slanted side will get every area question wrong on a diagram, however fluent they are with the formula on a bare number pair. Do not award the mark for "the base".
- Item 17 — accept 17 sq cm. Accept 17.0 or "about 17". Do not accept 20 (counting halves as wholes) or 14 (ignoring them).
- Items 18–20 are deliberately model-level, not rule-level. Week 10 teaches division with models; the rule is Week 11. A learner who inverts and multiplies is not wrong, but a learner who reasons "how many quarters fit in a half — two" has what Week 11 is built on.

Answer key — Term 1 Examination
| # | Answer | # | Answer | # | Answer | # | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4:00 p.m. | 11 | 20 | 21 | 8 | 31 | 42 sq cm |
| 2 | 06:45 | 12 | 36 | 22 | ⅗ | 32 | The perpendicular distance |
| 3 | 23:55 | 13 | 16 | 23 | 2 | 33 | 12 m |

Marking notes — Term 1 Examination
- Item 10 is the only item on the paper that crosses midnight, and it is the Analysing item for Part B. 18:00 in Milan (UTC+1) is 17:00 UTC, which is 01:00 in Manila on the following day. Award 1 mark for 01:00; award the second only if the day change is stated.
- Item 22 — ⅗ × ⅞ is smaller because ⅞ is less than one. A learner who computes 21/40 and then compares correctly has done more work than needed and should get full marks.
- Item 23 gives exactly 2. As with ST2 item 7, learners distrust whole-number answers from fraction work. It is correct: 5/2 × 4/5 = 20/10.
- Item 26 requires GMDAS across fractions — multiplication before subtraction. A learner who works left to right gets (⅘ − ½) × ⅗ = 3/10 × ⅗ = 9/50, which is the diagnostic wrong answer. Record it; those learners need Week 5 again, not Week 7.
- Item 28 is the hardest item on the paper and the second Analysing item for Part E. Boys are ⅗, so girls are ⅖. ⅔ × ⅗ = ⅖ of the class. ½ × ⅖ = ⅕ of the class. ⅖ + ⅕ = ⅗. Award marks in three steps so partial credit is available.
- Item 34 — 22 + (8 × ½) = 26. Do not accept 30 or 22.
- Item 35 tests the relationship, not a computation. "Half" is the answer; "the parallelogram is bigger" earns no mark without the factor.
Suggested mark allocation. One mark per item for items 1–9, 11–21, 29–32, 34, 36–39. Two marks each for items 10, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 33, 35, 40. Three marks for item 28. That is 29 one-mark items, 10 two-mark items and one three-mark item — 52 marks over 40 items; scale to whatever your school records.
6. Week 7 weekly check
10 items · 15 minutes · Day 5 · Written Works Covers only competency Q1 · 8 — multiply a fraction by a fraction.
Give every answer in simplest form.
- ½ × ⅓ = ______
- ⅔ × ¾ = ______
- ⅗ × ½ = ______
- ⅞ × ⅔ = ______
- ¾ × ⅘ = ______
- Which is larger — ⅔ × ¾ or ⅔? ______
- A grid has 5 columns and 4 rows and models ⅗ × ¾. How many cells are shaded twice? ______
- ⅖ of ⅚ of a class walk to school. What fraction of the class is that? ______
- 2¼ × ⅔ = ______
- In one sentence, explain why ⅘ × ⅓ is smaller than ⅓. ______
Answer key — Week 7 weekly check
| # | Answer | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | ⅙ | |
| 2 | ½ | 6/12 — accept 6/12 only if simplification was not asked for; it was |
| 3 | 3/10 | |
| 4 | 7/12 | 14/24 |
| 5 | ⅗ | 12/20 |
| 6 | ⅔ | Because ¾ is less than one |
| 7 | 9 | 3 × 3 shaded, out of 5 × 4 = 20 |
| 8 | ⅓ | 10/30 |
| 9 | 1½ | 9/4 × 2/3 = 18/12 |
| 10 | Any wording carrying "we are taking a part of ⅓, so it must be less than ⅓" or "⅘ is less than one" |
Item 10 is worth reading before any of the others. A class that scores 9/10 with item 10 blank has learned a procedure. The Week 8 multi-step work and the Week 10 division work both fail on exactly that gap.
7. Performance task rubrics
All four rubrics use 4 criteria × 4 levels = 16 points. Convert with
score ÷ 16 × 100 for the Performance Tasks component.
7.1 The OFW Call Schedule — Term 1 task
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time conversion | All times correct in both 12- and 24-hour notation | One notation error | Several errors, but the method is visible | Conversions absent or unusable |
| Zone reasoning | Every offset applied correctly, including any day change | Offsets correct, day change missed | One offset wrong | Offsets guessed |
| Justification | Explains why each slot avoids sleeping hours at both ends | Explains for one end only | Asserts without reasoning | No justification |
| Presentation | One page, readable, every city labelled with its offset | Readable, some labels missing | Cluttered but complete | Incomplete |
7.2 The Sari-Sari Receipt Audit — Term 2 task
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data collection | Ten genuine amounts, sources named | Ten amounts, sources vague | Fewer than ten, or invented | Data absent |
| Ordering and rounding | All ten ordered and rounded correctly | One or two errors | Method visible, several errors | Not attempted |
| Checking | Total verified two different ways, both shown | Verified once | Total given, no check | No total |
| Written reasoning | Identifies specifically where a rounding error would hide, with an example | Identifies the risk generally | Mentions rounding without insight | Absent |
7.3 Two Seasons, One Graph — Term 3 task
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Graph choice | Bar or line chosen correctly and defended in writing | Chosen correctly, thin defence | Chosen incorrectly but defended | No choice made |
| Construction | Scale, axes, key and labels all correct | One element missing | Several missing; graph still readable | Not readable |
| Conclusions | Two conclusions the data genuinely supports | Two conclusions, one weak | One conclusion | None |
| Critical reading | Names a conclusion a reader might wrongly draw, and says why it does not follow | Names one, weak reasoning | Vague caution | Absent |
7.4 The Box That Wastes Least — Term 3 task
| Criterion | 4 — Exemplary | 3 — Proficient | 2 — Developing | 1 — Beginning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net | Accurate, folds correctly into the intended solid | Folds with minor adjustment | Recognisable, does not fold | Not a net |
| Surface area | Computed correctly for both boxes, working shown | One computation correct | Method visible, both wrong | Not attempted |
| The improvement | Second box genuinely uses less material, and the saving is proved numerically | Second box better, saving asserted | Second box built, no comparison | Only one box |
| Construction | Built, holds the objects, neatly made | Built, holds the objects | Built, does not hold them | Not built |
7.5 Group activity rubrics
The two group activities in offline-activities.md carry their own
12-point rubrics — 4 criteria × 3 levels — at the foot of each activity. They are scored
separately and also feed the Performance Tasks component.
8. What is deliberately not in this pack
Naming the gaps so nobody assumes they are covered.
| Not here | Why |
|---|---|
| Term 2 and Term 3 papers | The repository teaches Term 1 Week 7 in full. Writing summatives for content that has no lesson plans behind it would be filling a table, not building an assessment |
| A Grade 5 diagnostic / pre-test | Would need the Grade 4 exit standard as its spine, and belongs with the Grade 4 set rather than here |
| Item analysis or difficulty indices | These require real learner data. The cognitive-level column in §2 is a design intention, not a measured difficulty |
| A DepEd-format TOS | No prescribed layout was obtainable. §2 is this repository's |
| Rubrics for the term examination | It is objectively marked; the answer key and the mark allocation in §5 are the whole instrument |
| Anything below raw 70 on the transmutation table | The reported table gives one anchor — raw 70 → 75. class-record.html refuses to interpolate below it and prints "see order" rather than inventing a grade |
