Activity A
Three Types of Decisions
Yes, all the procedures done in the class are good examples of 21st century skills – group stands up and shouts “Hooray”!
Some of the procedures done in the class are examples of 21st century skills and some are not – group stands up and says “Hmmm”!
No, all the procedures done in the class are not examples of 21st century skills – group stands up and says “Huh”!

inquiry is the process
children learn how to
learn and apply those

everything for the

21st classroom is
highly augmented with
technology that allows
kids to be one on one.
It’s like to have a play
time rather than to
have people sitting
around with a teacher
in front.

INSTRUCTION
CRITICAL THINKING AND
PROBLEM-SOLVING
Teacher poses a problem and
asks students to solve it or
research for answers.
COMMUNICATION
Teacher raises an issue or
topic and students express
their ideas with varied media.
COLLABORATION
Teacher provides a task and
students work in teams.
CREATIVITY
Teacher presents a challenge
and students design a solution
or an innovation.

26. CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Example:
Students examine a local building that has stairs but no ramp for wheelchairs. Working in groups, students identify the best place to install a ramp. Then they determine the appropriate slope, decide whether or not the ramp should have a switchback, and design the ramp using Pythagorean Theorem.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

27. CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Example:
Students will get data pertaining to the number of times a the prices of gasoline increases / decreases for the past 2 years, and make a presentation of it. Students then will explore the patterns in the changes of price and make a mathematical model out of it, and determine how the model and the other mathematical concept could be used to improve policies regarding the changing of gasoline price in the Philippines. Then craft a letter to their Congressional representative explaining their model and how it can help.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

28. COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION
Example:
Students as a group will play “Factor Game”, which challenges players to find factors of polynomial expression on a game board. Students will identify the mathematics that leads to a winning strategy, and then test their strategies. Students then present and compare their playing strategies with their classmates’ approaches to determine optimal strategies.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

29. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
CREATIVITY
Example:
Working as a group, student will create and design their own game that can be played in a carnival, amusement park or casino. It cannot be a game that already exists – the game must be unique. Include write up of it, which explains the overview of the game, step – by – step instruction of how the game is played, and the probability concept used in the game including the mathematical calculation for the expected value of winning the game.

“Success in the 21st century requires knowing how to learn. Students today will likely have several careers in their lifetime. They must develop strong critical thinking and interpersonal communication skills in order to be successful in an increasingly fluid, interconnected, and complex world. Technology allows for 24/7 access to information, constant social interaction, and easily created and shared digital content.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

35. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
In this setting, educators can leverage technology to create an engaging and personalized environment to meet the emerging educational needs of this generation. No longer does learning have to be one- size-fits-all or confined to the classroom. The opportunities afforded by technology should be used to re-imagine 21st-century education, focusing on preparing students to be learners for life.
