2. Rationale
● National Achievement Tests have shown that
Mathematics and Science continues to be the
most difficult subject in the elementary and high
school education.
● Studies of UP NISMED even conclude that a
large number of Filipino students cannot apply
concepts to real life

3. Objectives
● To pull together the good practices and effective
teaching methods which can be replicated for the
use of the education sector;
● To have an initial list of instructional tools which are
appropriate and will best explain the difficult
concepts in science and mathematics; and
● To initiate the formation of a community of educators
and ICT professionals which will actively work on
the creation of apt and effective methods and
materials which can help in improving the state of
the basic science and mathematics education.
