PIVOT 4A BUDGET OF WORK (BOW) IN

MATHEMATICS

A. Features/Elements

The PIVOT 4A Budget of Work for Mathematics (PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics) merges

the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) issued by the Department of Education and the
PIVOT 4A BOW of DepEd CALABARZON. This is a resource material for teaching Mathematics
that contains learning competencies from Grade
1 to Grade 10 as prescribed by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum of the Department of
Education.

The document contains the quarterly learning domains of each grade level (column 1), the
MELCs represented by the number which also refers to week number it should be undertaken in class
(column 2), specific learning competencies pertinent to each learning domain which are also the
enabling competencies for each MELC (column 3), and the number of days each learning competency
should be taught in class (column 4).

The number of days suggests the number of class time the teacher/facilitator should devote to
the learning competency. On a quarterly basis, the number of days allotted is 40 class days.

The PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics is grouped according to grade levels and learning

domains on a quarterly basis.

B. How to Use this PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics?

The PIVOT 4A BOW-Mathematics is a resource for teachers and could be used as reference
for the development of lesson plans and lesson logs.

The PIVOT 4A BOW in Mathematics is composed of four (4) columns. The first column is
intended for the Quarter; the second one is for the Most Essential Learning Competencies
(MELC); the third for the Learning Competencies; and the last one for the No. of Days Taught.

In using the PIVOT 4A BOW in Mathematics, it is important to understand the figure above
marked by the following specifications:

A. Quarter
B. Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC)
C. Learning Competencies
D. Number of Days Taught
E. Enabling Competencies. These were taken from the K to 12 Curriculum Guide which
teachers shall use in bridging the lessons especially in reaching and targeting the Most
Essential Learning Competencies (MELC).
 Page 143 of 349

F. Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC). In each PIVOT 4A BOW, the MELC is
symbolized or marked by numbers. These identified MELCs may be of the same variant of
the K to 12 LCs or enabling competencies. But in some cases, MELCs were produced by
merging/fusing some LCs or enabling competencies.

In using the materials, the teachers should

 look for the grade level being handled;

 identify the current quarter and week number which is equivalent to the MELC number for
the particular quarter;
 identify the learning competencies to be taught during the day or week; and
 observe the number of days the learning competencies should be taught.

In writing the lesson plan or lesson log, the teacher should specify the learning competencies and
note the number of days as specified and suggested by the document.
