“…Another implication is that students are only taught the most appropriate methods of proving. Even though geometric proofs are non-routine problems that require creativity and critical thinking, they can sometimes be answered routinely (Dio, 2021).…”

Educational reforms and curriculum development were continuously implemented for quality and inclusive education for all learners. As proficiency in English language became an issue, it has also been a burden in studying mathematics, specifically geometry, which is mainly written and taught in English Language. Hence, this study utilized descriptive correlational design in describing the students’ proficiency in English language, specifically in reading comprehension, and Geometric proof skills in terms of correctness, appropriateness, logical reasoning, and clarity. Additionally, random sampling technique was used in choosing 30 mathematics students at a state university in Laguna. The quantitative data revealed that the respondents were proficient in terms of reading comprehension. However, with the presence of socio-cultural differences, their answers were influenced by environmental interference. On the other hand, the students performed advanced level in all aspects of Geometric proof skills. It was also found out that there is a significant relationship between reading comprehension and the correctness of proof and logical reasoning. Contrary to the results of the two components of geometric proof skills, reading comprehension has no significant relationship to both appropriateness and clarity. Based from the findings, the study suggests educators expose their students to a wide variety of reading materials in enhancing geometric proof skills.

“…It can be gleaned that the spiral progression approach of the curriculum is vertically coherent particularly in Probability and Statistics. The competencies listed per grade level were increasing in difficulties which considered as one of the best structures of the spiral curriculum as expounded also in the study of [10].…”

“…The identified issues of the Philippine Kto10 Mathematics Curriculum can be strengthened by the investigation conducted by [10] emphasizing the need for revision of the Kto10 Mathematics curriculum due to congested content and learning competencies, unrealistic to implement. The study article emphasized the significance of carefully arranging content topics and learning competencies in the approach of spiral progression from Kindergarten to Grade 10 level.…”

The complexity of Probability and Statistics Education was intensified by several concerns in the education sector brought by COVID-19 contagion. This study examined the Philippine Kto10 Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) in Probability and Statistics by comparing the content topics and learning competencies with the Kto10 Mathematics Curriculum. This Critical-Qualitative approach of study used curriculum mapping as a method of analysis in the identification of the gaps in the MELCs across the grade level along with lesson continuity and lesson congestion backed up with the experiences and responses of 12-Math teachers (5 Elementary,7 Secondary) who were informants of the study. This investigation found out that the learning competencies in Probability and Statistics of the Kto10 Mathematics Curriculum were reduced (from 89 to 66 learning competencies) across grade level to cope up with the present educational crisis brought by the pandemic. The issuance of Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) arranged in increasing complexity was seen as a good initiative in decongesting the overcrowded Kto10 Mathematics Curriculum. However, gaps were still seen along lesson continuity across grade level particularly in grade 9 (no lesson in Probability and Statistics). This study provides insights among educational authorities and researchers to further explore how the Probability and Statistics are taught across grade level. It uncovers the gaps along lesson continuity and congestion for the need of revision of Philippine Kto10 Mathematics Curriculum.

“…The K-10 Mathematics curriculum needs to be revised to include the most important learning competencies (vertically organized) per content area that are based on international benchmarks (Dio, 2020). Teachers must also receive training in order to effectively teach Statistics and Probability (Candelario-Aplaon, 2017).…”
