    1. her cash advance of PHP 200

      The cash advance should be included in the table rather than only in the solution steps, as it is a key piece of information needed to solve the problem. Presenting it in the table makes it more visible and reduces the likelihood that learners will overlook it.

    2. 20 percent as the decimal 0.20 first.

      It would also be helpful to include a brief explanation that converting a percent to a decimal simply means dividing the percent by 100 (e.g., 20 ÷ 100 = 0.20) or moving the decimal point two places to the left. This will help learners understand the conversion process rather than just memorizing the rule.

    1. Find the discount: 5 percent of 2,400 is 2,400 / 100 x 5 = 120 pesos.

      I suggest showing another way of computing the discount or presenting the formula:

      Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)

      This alternative method can help learners better understand the process and reduce potential confusion when they are presented with the formula.

    1. Naming the Standard Units at Work

      I suggest placing the learning objectives at the beginning of each lesson so that learners are guided from the start and have a clear understanding of what is expected of them.

    1. TaxPHP 310

      Under the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) guidelines and the TRAIN Law, any individual earning a monthly taxable income of ₱20,833 or below is entirely tax-exempt.

    2. Measuring jugReadingOil level marked at750 milliliters

      I suggest presenting this information in a diagram or illustration since the question asks for the oil level. Providing the value of 750 directly encourages students to simply copy the given information rather than locate it from the provided data.

    3. He keeps his Daily Time Record (DTR), the sheet where he writes his time in and time out each day

      Since the question asks for the value of psi, the DTR does not provide any information needed to solve the problem and only adds unnecessary length. I suggest removing it to make the question more concise.

    4. Date filedAugust 3

      Sick leave should be filed immediately upon returning to work and not before.

      This could be changed to Wellness Leave or change the reason of absence.

    1. The job table says Job C needs 80 rods. A separate posted note adds: 'Add 10% spare rods to every job.' The stockman must decide how many rods to actually pull for Job C. How many rods should he pull?

      The learning outcome here is to "interpret workplace numerical information"-- this question requires the students to do multi-step calculation. This makes it more of a computation task than a pure interpretation task.

    1. 8 mm – 2 10 mm – 4 12 mm – 7 14 mm – 5

      The data are written in one line, making them hard to read and understand. Perhaps it would be better to write this in table form (wrench size, count) or separate it through comma: 8mm - 2, 10 mm - 4, etc.

    1. Estimate the line total to check whether ₱600 is reasonable.

      Since the question requires an estimate rather than an exact answer, it may be better to present the responses as multiple-choice options instead of a free-form response. This would allow learners to focus on making a reasonable estimate rather than being marked wrong for minor variations in their answers.

    1. Which operation should Maria choose, and what is the number per crate?

      Can we limit this to one question only, or alternatively convert it into a multiple-choice item? Since the current format requires a free-form response, many students may be marked incorrect even when their answers are technically correct.

      For example, the answer key is given as:

      Divide (÷); 96 ÷ 8 = 12

      However, when I entered Division, 12, it was marked incorrect despite being a valid answer. This may lead to unnecessary errors due to variations in wording rather than a lack of understanding of the concept.

    1. Complete multi-step calculations for routine tasks using guided procedures

      I think it would be better to include a balance of multiple choice and free-form response.

    1. Read the height of the Wednesday bar against the side scale.

      Maybe it would be better to remove this additional instruction, as it may cause confusion since the number of loaves is already displayed at the top of each bar.

    1. 130

      Perhaps it would be better to include both the systolic and diastolic values (e.g. 130/80 mmHg) to clearly indicate that the measurement refers to blood pressure??

    1. psi?

      We may need to clarify that psi stands for pounds per square inch, as it is not a commonly used unit of measurement and may be unfamiliar to some learners.

    2. Day

      Were the visible table lines intentionally removed to assess the students' understanding of rows and columns, or should the table follow the format presented in the article or outlined in the performance criteria?
