Educational Goal:
• The students will be able to solve 5 problems involving rational numbers correctly using
the MDAS rule.

isosceles triangle into a three-dimensional figure and perceive an object from different
perspectives.
Performance Task Content Illustrating Student Progress Date
• The students will solve 5 problems
involving rational numbers correctly
using the MDAS rule
• DRAWING of the Isosceles triangle
and a square.
• CUTTING AND ASSEMBLING the
isosceles triangle and square and
gluing it altogether to form a Pyramid.
• MEASURING AND COMPUTING the
Area, Perimeter and Volume of the
Isosceles triangle and the Pyramid
• SOLVING Mathematical problems involving rational
numbers using:
a. Addition
b. Subtraction
c. Multiplication
d. Division
e. Involving one variable
• Draw an Isosceles Triangle in a drawing paper.
• Draw a square in the drawing paper with a base of 5
inches and a height of 5 inches.
• Cut the 3 isosceles triangles and the square drawn
from the paper and paste them altogether to form a
PYRAMID.
• Measuring the height and Perimeter of the Pyramid.
• Compute for the Area and Volume of the triangle
using the formula: A= ½ BH.

3. Based on the activity, compute for the Volume, Perimeter
and Area of the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt whose base is
125 feet and legs with 565 feet.
Summary/ Comments:
In assessing a student, the teacher has a wide variety of choices when it comes to
rubrics. There are plenty of models of rubrics a teacher can choose from which are available
on the different sources such as books and internet, what the teacher have to consider is the
purpose of which he/she will be assessing the students, in this portfolio, semantic-differential,
likert, checklist, and rating scale were given emphasis to show their differences in applications.
Semantic Differential (SD) measures people's reactions to stimulus words and
concepts in terms of ratings on bipolar scales defined with contrasting adjectives at each end.
The respondent is asked to choose where his/her position lies, on a scale between two bipolar
words, or a range of words or numbers ranging across a bipolar position. However in a Rating
scale a set of categories designed to elicit information about a quantitative attribute in social
science is used by a person who selects the number which is considered to reflect the
perceived quality of a product. In a Likert scale, it measures either positive or negative
response to a statement and it is the most widely used scale in survey research. When
responding to a Likert questionnaire item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a
statement; this makes it a bipolar scaling method which is likewise the same with Sentence
Completion and Checklist rubrics.

9. Group Rubric Try-out Summary:
In the conduct of our field try-out of the Group rubrics, there are similarities and
dissimilarities in connection to the comments of the respondents. Few of the respondents gave
negative comments of the rubrics, in which all of it are focused on the clerical errors which they
seemed incorrect like active-inactive, which should be corrected to active-passive instead.
However, I have some reservations as to the validity and reliability of the try-out,
in the sense that, there are some underlying factors which makes the try-out difficult to assess
as to whether it is indeed reliable or not, like in this case, in our effort to find some credible
respondents we found it difficult for the graduating students to correct our rubrics due to their
busy schedule so we opted to go outside the school looking for somebody who are graduating
or graduates in education, in this case, we do not know if they know much about the rubric we
were asking them to respond. Nevertheless, despite my reservations to the result of the try-
out, I have gained insight on how people view my rubric, whether it is appropriate or not.
Finally, I have learned in this study that students can be evaluated in different
aspects and measure people's reactions to stimulus words and concepts in terms of ratings on
bipolar scales and use different types of rubrics based on the appropriateness to the student’s
activity.
