Assessment Pack — Mathematics 7

Term 1 · MATATAG Curriculum · Key Stage 3 · SY 2026–2027

Everything a Grade 7 Mathematics teacher has to produce for Term 1 assessment: 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.

⚠️ The weights are reported, and the Key Stage 3 attribution is an inference. DO No. 015, s. 2026 could not be downloaded in the environment this was built in — see source-catalogue.md. Two search passes attributed the 20 / 50 / 30 split to the Key Stage 2–3 core learning areas; Grade 7 Mathematics falls inside that, but the inference is one step further than the Grade 4–6 case. The item content below is this repository's own work and stands on its own. Confirm the weights before computing a real grade.

1. How assessment works this year

The item-count rule

A single summative may not exceed half the item count of the term examination. The term examination 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. §2 is this repository's. Adjust the weighting to what you actually taught.

2. Table of Specifications — Term 1 Examination

40 items · 11 weeks · Remembering · Understanding · Applying · Analysing

Why the weighting sits where it does. Weeks 7–9 take 45% for three weeks of teaching. Percentage, money and rates are the arithmetic of a payslip, a loan and a fare, and they are the part of Grade 7 that a learner will still be using at forty. Polygon drawing takes 12.5% — it is taught, examined, and does not carry forward as heavily.

3. Summative Test 1 — Weeks 1–5

20 items · 40 minutes · end of Week 5 Covers polygons, angle relationships, and rational numbers.

Part A · Polygons (items 1–7)

1. How many sides has a pentagon? ______

5. What is the sum of the interior angles of a pentagon? ______
6. What is each interior angle of a regular hexagon? ______
7. What is each exterior angle of a regular decagon? ______

18. Order these from smallest to largest: 0.6 · ⅔ · 65% ______
19. ¾ + ⅖ = ______
20. ⅔ × 0.75 = ______

Answer key — Summative Test 1

Marking notes.

• Item 12 is the item that separates memorised facts from understanding. The exterior angles of every polygon sum to 360° — triangle, decagon, or a 100-sided figure. Learners who answer with a formula in n have not met the point.
• Item 18 requires all three to be put in one form first. 0.6, 0.65, 0.667 — the ⅔ is largest, and learners who rank by "the biggest-looking number" will put 65% last.
• Item 4 — accept a drawing without a name. The competency is classification, not vocabulary.

4. Summative Test 2 — Weeks 6–10

20 items · 40 minutes · end of Week 10 Covers percentage increase and decrease, money problems, rates, and roots.

Part A · Percentage increase and decrease (items 1–8)

5. A price rises from ₱40 to ₱50. What is the percentage increase? ______
6. A price falls from ₱50 to ₱40. What is the percentage decrease? ______
7. What multiplier gives a 15% increase? ______
8. ₱600 goes up 30%, then down 30%. What is the final amount? ______

Part B · Money problems (items 9–13)

9. A ₱1 500 item has a 12% discount. How much is paid? ______
10. An agent earns 5% commission on sales of ₱24 000. How much is the commission? ______

Part D · Roots (items 18–20)

18. √144 = ______
19. ∛64 = ______
20. Is √20 rational or irrational? ______

Answer key — Summative Test 2

Marking notes.

• Items 5 and 6 are the same two numbers and different answers, and they are placed adjacent deliberately. 25% and 20%. A learner who gives the same answer twice has the arithmetic and not the base.
• Item 4 — accept 60%, or "you pay 40%". Do not accept 70%.
• Item 11 asks for the total, not the tax. A learner who answers ₱102 has computed correctly and answered a different question; award half if you mark in halves.
• Item 17 must show the comparison, not just the choice. A learner who guesses "the bigger pack" is right for the wrong reason here — say so.
• Item 20 — accept "irrational" with or without a reason. 20 is not a perfect square, so √20 cannot be written as a fraction.

Answer key — Term 1 Examination

Marking notes — Term 1 Examination

• Item 25 is the highest-value item on the paper and one of the two Analysing items for Part D. Award in three steps: 1 mark for saying the answer is lower, 2 for identifying that the amounts differ, 3 for naming the base explicitly. A learner who only computes ₱96 for a specific case earns nothing — the question asks why, not what.
• Items 23 and 24 are adjacent on purpose. Same two prices, different percentages, because the base differs. A learner giving 25% twice, or 20% twice, has not met §C criterion 4 of the week plan.
• Item 22 — 0.7 × 0.9 = 0.63, so 37% off. The tempting wrong answer is 40%. Record it.
• Item 30 carries two marks because it asks two questions. ₱1 800 alone earns one.
• Item 35 is the only rate item where the larger pack wins, and it must show working. ₱54 ÷ 1.5 = ₱36 per litre; ₱70 ÷ 2 = ₱35 per litre.
• Item 38 — "rational" alone earns the mark only if the three words include the reason. "Rational — it's 3" is the intended answer.
• Item 5 — 360 ÷ 10 = 36°. Learners who compute the interior angle (144°) have answered a different question; record it, because that confusion will reappear in Grade 9.

Suggested mark allocation. One mark each for items 1–4, 6–9, 11–16, 18–21, 26–29, 31–34 and 36–39. Two marks each for items 5, 10, 17, 22, 23, 24, 30, 35 and 40. Three marks for item 25. That is 30 one-mark items, 9 two-mark items and one three-mark item — 51 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 · 7 — percentage increase and decrease.

1. Increase ₱250 by 12%. ______
2. Decrease ₱800 by 25%. ______
3. What multiplier gives a 15% increase? ______
4. What multiplier gives an 8% decrease? ______
5. ₱100 goes up 20%, then down 20%. Final price? ______
6. 50% off, then 20% off the sale price. What single discount? ______
7. A price rises from ₱40 to ₱50. Percentage increase? ______
8. The same price falls from ₱50 back to ₱40. Percentage decrease? ______
9. ₱600 goes up 30%, then down 30%. Final amount? ______
10. In one sentence, explain why your answers to 7 and 8 are different. ______

Answer key — Week 7 weekly check

Item 10 is worth reading before any of the others. A class that scores 9/10 with item 10 blank has learned to compute percentages and has not learned what a percentage is of — and Week 8's commission, tax and interest problems all hide the base inside a word.

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 Sari-Sari Store Books — Term 1 task

7.2 What Fits in the Drum — Term 2 task

7.3 Above and Below — Term 3 task

7.4 Is the Coin Fair? — Term 3 task

7.5 Group activity rubrics

The two group activities in offline-activities.md carry their own 12-point rubrics at the foot of each activity. They are scored separately and also feed the Performance Tasks component.
