What to Expect in Grade 1 Quarter 3 Lesson Exemplars
The Grade 1 Quarter 3 Lesson Exemplars under the MATATAG Curriculum present teachers and students with enriching learning experience that blends academic mastery with character development. Throughout the quarter, lessons guide pupils to become responsible, respectful and compassionate members of their communities while strengthening foundational skills in reading, writing, mathematics and values formation. Each week builds on the previous one, ensuring continuous development of literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional competencies that reflect real-life applications and community awareness.
Grade 1 Key Subject Matter and Learning Focus for the 3rd Quarter
Across eight weeks, Grade 1 learners explore interconnected themes that nurture both intellect and values. Lessons begin with understanding the home, school and community, moving toward deeper social awareness and moral reflection.
Language and Reading lessons center on vocabulary development, comprehension, sequencing and sentence construction. Pupils engage with stories such as Didi’s Colorful Treasure, Ang Sukli ni Yuno, Uwak at Maya and Ang Tabanog, which teach honesty, generosity, cleanliness and compassion. These literary pieces enhance reading fluency and cultural appreciation while nurturing empathy and cooperation.
Mathematics focuses on data representation, subtraction and pattern recognition. Learners start by creating simple pictographs and progress to solving subtraction problems using concrete and pictorial models. Toward the end of the quarter, they explore numerical and visual patterns that develop analytical and logical thinking.
GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct) emphasizes respect, honesty, cleanliness and compassion. Through songs, role-plays and reflective sharing, children learn to express gratitude, follow rules and help others, embodying the MATATAG vision of moral strength.
Makabansa lessons foster civic understanding by exploring school and community life. Learners identify community helpers, landmarks and public spaces and create maps that promote environmental awareness and social responsibility.
By the end of the quarter, pupils are expected to communicate clearly, perform basic operations with understanding, appreciate community roles and embody core Filipino values such as respect (paggalang), generosity (pagiging mapagbigay) and compassion (pagmamalasakit).
Grade 1 3rd Quarter Instructional Flow and Lesson Design Framework
Each week follows a structured and child-friendly instructional flow designed to sustain engagement and comprehension:
- Motivation and Recall – Teachers begin with songs, rhymes, or visual prompts to activate prior knowledge and set the mood.
- Presentation – New ideas are introduced through storytelling, picture analysis, or demonstrations connected to real-life experiences.
- Guided Practice – Pupils participate in shared reading, vocabulary games, or math exercises using manipulatives and visual aids.
- Hands-on and Group Activities – Learners collaborate in creating pictographs, dramatizing moral lessons, or performing clean-up drives.
- Reflection and Application – The day ends with sharing activities where pupils express what they learned and how it applies to daily life.
