AN EXCITING JOURNEY: From Land to Sea to Air, Back to Land Lourdes R. Carale 2001 37 pp.  P 70.00 ISBN 971-570-095-0 Published by NISMED

This story is about two boys who are transformed into two water particles before embarking on an exciting journey. They start off from cascading waterfall, travel down the river, and eventually reach the sea. From here, they are transformed up into the air until they become part of the clouds and finally fall down as rain. Through the vivid dream experiences of the boys young readers get to know about the water cycle. Intended for ages 8 to 10, the story can be used in science as well as in English and Filipino classes. It may be narrated by three children, two acting as the characters, and one as the story teller.

BASIC NUMBER SKILLS: Why Student Fail in Math A diagnostic Survey of Fifteen High Schools in Central Visayas, Philippines Anthony Somerset 2003 104 pp.  P 150.00 ISBN 971-570-103-5 Published by NISMED

The test results showed that among public high school students, misconceptions concerning some of the basic elementary level number skills are widespread and persistent. Most students either failed to understand the given information well enough to develop a strategy, or they set up a strategy which was inappropriate to answering the given question. The recommendations given are as follows: remedial teaching, formative teaching in the classroom, correct misconceptions in textbooks, and subject-specific pedagogy, meaning teaching approaches in the key concepts of subjects.

EARTH SCIENCE: THE PHILIPPINES IN FOCUS L. Cortes, et al 1983 444 pp. Student's Text   P350.00 ISBN 971-135-068-8 1987 187 pp. Teacher's Guide   P200.00 ISBN 971-135-118-8 Published by ISMED

This is a secondary level textbook intended to deepen awareness and develop scientific knowledge and understanding of earth processes such as weather, ocean movements, erosion, and volcanic eruption. Its Philippine orientation, i.e., conditions and processes observable in the country and data about natural phenomena, sites and resources, not only concretizes theories and principles but also enables our students to identify with their own country. To ensure the development of concepts, activities containing specifications of materials, detailed procedures and well thought-out questions are woven into the text at points where they can be of most help to students.

PAPER FOLDING: Art and Mathematics ISBN 971-570-087-X Josefina C. Fonacier, et. al. Text 53 pp., P 80.00 March 2000 Published by the NISMED

This resource introduces or applies geometry in a setting that is less formal and more visual and tactile and hence, more interesting and learnable for secondary students and teachers. Lessons in paper folding, or origami, provide the learners with experiences to create and manipulate basic geometric shapes in the hope that, in the process, they discover relationships.  Every activity is well illustrated and is followed by a discussion, an explanation for why the paper folding activity works, and a section on “Further Discussion and Problems.”

WELS: WORDS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

S. Cabato, L. Capalad, et al
1983 370 pp. P 58.00
Published by PUNDASYON
ISBN 971-137-009-3

This book is based on the result of a study to investigate the elementary school children's knowledge of English non-technical words used in teacher-pupil interactions and mathematics classes. The facility of each of the 385 non-technical words in the WELS World List for each grade level (grades 4, 5 and 6) by regions (Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) and by school types (public barrio, town, and private) was determined.

The report includes the test developed to measure the difficulty levels of each word. The discussion and the implications of the findings for teaching and curriculum development highlight the significance of the study in relation to the goals of science and mathematics education.
