Grade 3 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars (LE) Compilation | SY 2025–2026

Ma'am Abbie

As the school year enters its second quarter, Grade 3 classrooms come alive with a mix of excitement and determination. The first periodical tests are done. Some students beam with pride at their scores, while others quietly resolve to improve and teachers take this moment to reflect on what strategies worked best in Quarter 1 and which ones need a fresh twist. Parents, too, can sense the shift at home when their children eagerly share new lessons: “Nanay, we’re learning multiplication tables!” or “Teacher said we’ll start reading longer stories!” This quarter feels like a new chapter, filled with opportunities to build on past lessons, nurture growing confidence and guide learners toward deeper understanding of more challenging topics. This is where the Grade 3 Quarter 2 Lesson Exemplars (LE) become invaluable.

Designed under the DepEd MATATAG Curriculum, these lesson exemplars are practical teaching guides that translate competencies into weekly plans and classroom activities. For teachers, they serve as ready-made models to ensure every lesson is aligned with Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). For parents, they provide a clear picture of what their children will study, making it easier to support learning at home. Ultimately, lesson exemplars ensure that students move steadily from foundational skills to more advanced concepts, well-prepared for the challenges ahead.

The Lesson Exemplars (LE) for Quarter 2 are anchored on the MATATAG K–10 Curriculum specifically the MELC-based standards for English, Filipino, Mathematics, Science and Makabansa. Each subject is carefully mapped to weeks 1–8 of the second quarter ensuring lessons are developmentally appropriate and interconnected. For example:

  • English continues to sharpen learners’ reading fluency, comprehension and vocabulary skills. This quarter, students are challenged to read short stories and informational texts with greater accuracy and understanding. They practice identifying characters, settings and main ideas, while also beginning to form their own written sentences and short compositions. By engaging in reading aloud, group discussions and simple writing exercises, Grade 3 pupils develop confidence in using English as a tool for communication and self-expression.
  • Filipino lessons go deeper into reading comprehension and grammar awareness while promoting love for language and culture. Learners explore short poems, stories, and dialogues that reflect everyday Filipino experiences. They are guided to identify key details, use correct sentence structures, and express their thoughts clearly in oral and written form. Creative activities, such as dramatization and collaborative reading, also help students build appreciation for Filipino values and traditions while strengthening their literacy skills.
  • Mathematics in Quarter 2 focuses on mastering multiplication and division of 2–3 digit numbers and exploring the basics of fractions. Learners solve practical word problems, such as sharing food fairly among friends or calculating expenses in simple scenarios. Through games, drills and visual aids, they build speed and accuracy in basic operations while developing logical reasoning. By connecting Math to real-life applications, students begin to see the subject as a useful tool in decision-making and problem-solving beyond the classroom.
  • Science introduces exciting concepts about living and non-living things. Learners study the parts and functions of plants, the basic properties of matter and how Earth’s natural resources are used and cared for. Activities like observing plants, conducting simple experiments and discussing weather changes allow students to connect scientific ideas with their environment. This quarter helps children appreciate the importance of caring for nature while nurturing their curiosity about how the world works.
  • Makabansa strengthens learners’ identity, sense of responsibility and appreciation of their community. Lessons highlight healthy habits, the importance of cooperation and the role of family and cultural pride in shaping character. Through storytelling, class projects and discussions on Filipino traditions, students gain a deeper awareness of their role as young citizens. They begin to practice respect for rules, appreciation of diversity, and responsibility in helping their families and schools.
  • GMRC guides learners in building self-confidence, sincerity in friendships and empathy for others. Through storytelling, games and role-playing, Grade 3 students practice honesty, kindness and respect while reflecting on responsibilities at home, in school and within the community. By applying values in real-life situations, they begin to develop integrity and compassion as part of their daily actions.

Each weekly exemplar integrates content standards, performance standards and learning competencies into activities, formative assessments and suggested strategies. This ensures learners don’t just memorize but actually apply knowledge in practical ways.

Why are these topics important for Quarter 2? At this stage, Grade 3 learners are transitioning from “learning to read” to “reading to learn,” from basic number facts to analytical problem-solving and from family-based values to broader community engagement. These exemplars ensure the transition is structured, clear and achievable.

How to Use These Exemplars Effectively

Lesson exemplars are most powerful when teachers adapt them to their classroom realities. Here are practical tips:

  • Modify activities to match your learners’ pace. If multiplication facts seem tough, integrate games or songs.
  • Combine with LAS and DLLs. Use Learning Activity Sheets for practice and Daily Lesson Logs for detailed scheduling.
  • Blend with technology. For online or hybrid classes, digital versions of exercises can make learning more engaging.
  • Encourage parent support. Share exemplar highlights so parents can guide homework and review sessions.
  • Use Quarterly Exemplars alongside diagnostic tools like quizzes and performance tasks.
  • Incorporate values integration. For example, linking Math word problems to real-life situations like budgeting snacks.
  • Track progress using exemplar assessments to prepare learners confidently for the Quarter 2 Periodical Test.
