Overview of Grade 3 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar
The Grade 3 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar under the MATATAG Curriculum begins a new phase of integrated learning that develops both foundational skills and values formation. This week centers on communication, numeracy, scientific curiosity and cultural identity. Each subject builds on prior learning from previous quarters, ensuring continuity in reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, moral understanding and appreciation of Filipino heritage. Guided by the MATATAG principles, learners are encouraged to think critically, act responsibly and demonstrate respect in both classroom and community settings.
Learning Objectives
By the end of Week 1, Grade 3 learners are expected to:
- Read, understand and use language effectively in constructing meaningful sentences and identifying narrative elements in Filipino and English texts.
- Apply mathematical skills by organizing, presenting and interpreting data through tables and bar graphs.
- Demonstrate scientific observation by exploring how objects move through pushing, pulling, wind and water.
- Recognize historical and cultural identity by identifying early Filipinos and understanding their livelihood and way of life.
- Show creativity and cooperation through hands-on tasks in EPP and MAPEH that promote resourcefulness, teamwork, and artistic expression.
- Practice moral values such as courtesy, humility and respect through GMRC activities integrated with storytelling and real-life situations.
Grade 3 Quarter 3 Week 1 Key Learning Areas and Focus
English: Pupils read narrative and informational texts focusing on story sequence, main idea and cause-effect relationships. Lessons enhance comprehension and vocabulary through discussions and short written outputs.
Filipino: Using folktales such as “Ang Punong Kawayan” and “Naging Sultan si Pilandok,” pupils identify sight words, recognize emotions of characters and use polite expressions, strengthening both reading fluency and moral understanding.
Mathematics: Learners explore Data and Probability, gathering simple data from real-life experiments (e.g., coin tossing) and presenting it through horizontal and vertical bar graphs.
Science: Lessons focus on Forces and Motion, where pupils investigate how pushing, pulling, wind, and water make objects move, culminating in the creation of simple toys like pinwheels and water wheels.
Makabansa: Pupils study the early Filipinos, including the Homo luzonensis and Tabon Man, comparing their characteristics and lifestyles to understand Filipino identity.
GMRC: Children learn courteous language, respect for elders and empathy through discussions, songs and dramatizations.
Instructional Flow and Lesson Design Framework
Each day follows a structured teaching flow aligned with DepEd’s MATATAG pedagogy:
- Preparation and motivation – Teachers begin with greetings, songs, or visual prompts to stimulate interest.
- Presentation and exploration – Pupils read stories, perform simple experiments, or analyze pictures and videos to discover new ideas.
- Guided practice – Learners engage in group tasks such as sequencing story events, constructing graphs, or identifying cause-and-effect patterns.
- Application – Learners demonstrate understanding by retelling stories, completing tables, or creating simple projects like data charts or handmade crafts.
- Integration and reflection – Teachers connect the lesson to real-life contexts, guiding learners to reflect on moral lessons, cultural pride, and everyday applications.
