PREFACE
In April 2008 the 57-75 Movement organized a workbooks development write-shop in order to come up
with an immediate and effective response to the problem of lacking textbooks and instructional materials in public
schools. For two weeks, master teachers from each of the 57-75 pilot sites compiled a series of workbooks on
Science, English, and Mathematics designed for their elementary and high school students.
The write-shop aimed to: (1) identify least mastered skills in a subject area; (2) produce lesson guides that
will help increase the ability of classroom instructors in developing the mastery level of students particularly in
problematic subject areas; and (3) help teachers be creative in developing their own instructional materials based
on resources available to them in their respective schools.
Both the faculty and students of the public school system are expected to gain from this project. Teachers
will not only be aided by the problem-solving and explanations given in the workbooks but will also be helped in
terms of gearing their students towards a unified understanding of the subject matter. This workbook will also
serve as an alternative medium of instruction in the absence of textbooks and other necessary teaching materials
that the le ss fortunate may not be able to afford.
The workbooks development write-shop is also 57-75s contribution to enhancing the reading
proficiencies in its pilot sites.
57-75, a private sector-led movement created to help address the many problems of Philippine education,
was inspired by one of the many disturbing indicators of the state of Philippine education the results of the
National Achievement Test, in which grade school pupils scored close to 57.
The reversal of numbers in the campaign name from 57 to 75 symbolizes what the movement is trying
to do: turn things around, about radically rethinking the way we look at our education system and the way we
support it. We believe that this kind of rethinking will help turn around the dismal trends in Philippine education,
and eventually change statistics from 57 to 75.
57-75 advocates Focusing on helping students stay in school, enhancing reading proficiencies, and
improving achievement rates in math, science, and English; student and school Performance; and Community
Empowerment and Engagement.
57-75 wishes to acknowledge the Ateneo Center for Educational Development for supervising the
workshop. Much gratitude is also given to the League of Corporate Foundations Committee on Education which
funded the workshop through a grant provided by TeaM Energy Foundation, as well as to Jollibee Foundation for
additional logistical support.
57-75 would also like to especially acknowledge the master teachers from the pilot sites without their
commitment, this workbook would not have been possible. We also extend our appreciation to the reviewers,
editors and encoders of ACED who accommodated this project into their existing workload.
57-75 is also very grateful to the initial pool of corporate donors who have pledged to help in the
reproduction of this workbook: TeaM Energy Foundation, Petron Foundation, Pilmico Corporation, BPI
Foundation, Metrobank Foundation and Insular Life Foundation. Thank you for helping to reverse the education
crisis!

Let Us Plant Trees

Trees are our friends.
They give us shade. They protect us from the rain and the sun.
Many trees give us fruits to eat. Some of them are mango, santol, and durian. Others are caimito,
mabolo, duhat, and chico. These fruits taste good. They make us healthy and strong, too. Some trees
have pretty flowers. They come in many colors-red, white, yellow, and violet.
Trees give us wood. Wood can be made into chairs, tables, desks, and cabinets. Wood is all
around us. We find it at home, in school, in the playground, and in the church. Let us plant trees.
Wood from trees gives us many things.

Ive been walking around, looking for food, answered the monkey.
Come, lets go together. Its better if the two of us will look for food. The monkey and the
turtle had not gone far when they found a banana plant. The banana plant was uprooted. It had a bunch of
ripe bananas.
Lets divide the fruits, said the turtle. No! No! said the monkey. Well cut the plant into two
parts. The part with the fruits and leaves will be mine. The turtle did not say anything. She asked the
monkey to help her carry the other half of the plant and he did. The monkey began to plant the other half
of the plant with leaves and fruits. Ill water this plant everyday. I want the fruits to be ripe at once, said
the monkey. The turtle planted the other half of the plant. She, too, watered her plant every day.
Meanwhile the monkeys plant was dying. The leaves became withered. The bananas fell one by one.
Whats the matter with my plant? Friend Turtle, may I see your plant? asked the monkey. Is
this your plant? Why did my plant die? Your plant is very much alive. It has leaves already and blossoms
are coming out, said the monkey.
I dont know, Mr. Monkey. I planted the part that you gave me. I water it every day, said the
turtle. I cant take this, said the monkey angrily. You fooled me! This is what Ill do. The monkey got
angry. He picked up the turtle and threw him into the river. Ha! Ha! Ha! Poor Mr. Monkey! He did not
know that the river is my home, said the turtle laughing.
The monkey went away sadly. He would have to look for food again.

Almost Quarrel
There was a one-week vacation. Rudy visited his Aunt Nelias home in a farm. The farm was in a
small and peaceful town.
One afternoon, Rudy showed his cousin Glenn a picture of himself standing beside a swimming pool.
Glenn looked at Rudys picture several times. He liked the thought of him swimming in that pool. At home
Rudy said, I could be in that swimming pool right now. I could smell the barbecue we cook near the pool.
Rudy felt homesick.
Glenn did not say anything. Rudy boasted, Everything is bigger and better in the city. There are wide
parks and big stores. There are many cars and bright lights on the streets. There are tall buildings and modern
appliances. Glenn felt bad. He found Rudy too proud. Well maybe you are right, Glenn told Rudy. But we
have many things here that you dont have in the city. You dont have a big yard. You dont have a farm with
tame animals near you. You dont have a lovely pond. You dont have fresh air.
Rudy could not answer. You never caught fish until you came here, Glenn added. You never
played in the moonlight but here.
Just then, Mother came out from kitchen. She looked at those angry faces. Why, boys, she asked,
What is the matter with you? You can never settle a thing by quarrelling about it. Remember, good boys are
peace lovers.
Mother went on as Rudy and Glenn listened attentively. A city is a good place to live in. so is a farm.
Each has good things in it. Each is different from the other. No one can have everything. So there is no need to
quarrel over it. Do you understand me?
Rudy and Glenn nodded and smiled at each other. They shook hands and looked at the picture again.

The lion is called the king of the forest. He is big and strong. So the smaller animals are afraid
of him. But not his wife, Queen Lioness.
One morning the king of the forest was very angry. His wife, the queen, had said something
he did not like. She had told king lion that he had bad breath. So the king lion called the animals. First
he called the sheep. Friend Sheep, he roared, opening wide his big mouth. Would you say that I
have bad breath?
The sheep was a truthful animal. He thought that king lion wanted an honest answer. So the
sheep said, I am sorry to tell you. But you really have bad breath. You must brush your teeth.
King lion was very angry. He roared and bit the sheep to pieces. Then he called the goat.
Mr. Goat, tell me the truth. Do I have a bad smell? Do I have bad breath?
The goat saw the sheeps meat and bones. He was afraid of the lion. So the goat said. Oh,
King, I think you smell like the flowers in summer. You have a breath as sweet as an ilang-ilang
Before he could finish, the goat was torn to pieces. I do not like liars, roared king lion. At
last the lion called the carabao. The carabao walked slowly. He looked sick. He coughed and coughed.
Friend carabao, tell me the truth. Mrs. Lioness says that I have bad breath. She says I have a bad
smell. Is it true?
The carabao coughed and coughed. Then he said, softly, King lion, I have a bad cold. It
rained hard while I was plowing the field. I think I also have a cold in my head. So I cannot smell at
all. I am sorry, I cannot answer your question. King lion nodded his head, Go home and rest. Get
well soon.

Tricia. Did anyone hurt you? he asked. Tricia looked at Father. I want a new dress for Lizas birthday party,
she said. Mother will not buy me a new one. All the other girls will have new dresses. I want a pretty new
dress, said Tricia crying. Just then mother came in. Tricia, havent you forgotten about the new dress? I told
you, we have no money. Our money is just enough for food. You can wait until next pay day. Yes. Tricia.
Pay day is still next week, said father. Come, lets go to my room. Father and Mother sat down with Tricia.
Tricia, a new dress will not make you happy, said mother. Pretty things do not always make us happy.
When we are good, were happy. When we make friends, were happy. When you obey your father and
mother, youre happy. When we do what God wants us to do, we make Him happy, said Father. Money and
pretty things do not always make us happy, said Mother. You may go now and play. When the day comes
for the party, youll be happy with your friends, said Father.

The Hen With Silver Eggs

In a far away city, there lived a woman with her old mother. The woman sold chickens in the market.
One day, she was left with a hen that she was not able to sell. Mother, look at this hen. I wasnt able to sell it.
Lets just take care of her, said the woman. Ill take care of this hen. Ill put her in the hen house, said the
old mother. You may give her corn to eat and clean water to drink. She may lay eggs soon, said the woman.
The woman helped her mother take care of the hen. After she had come from the market, she would go
to the hen house. My pet hen is already big and fat. Very soon, she will lay eggs, said the woman to herself.
One morning, the old mother went to feed their pet hen. She was surprised to see a silver egg. Their hen had
laid a big silver egg. A silver egg! My hen laid a silver egg! exclaimed the old woman. She got the egg and
went to the house. When her daughter came home from the market, the old woman showed her the silver egg.
Oh, mother, this is a silver egg. If our pet hen lays more, well be rich. Ill not sell chickens anymore.
Yes, daughter. Ill take care of our pet, said the old woman. The following day, the hen laid another silver
egg. The old mother and the woman were very happy. Oh, mother, well be rich. See this egg again, cried
the woman. If the hen lays eggs for one month, well have thirty silver eggs. We can leave this dirty old
house. Yes, daughter. Well be rich, said the old mother. Let us feed our pet, said the woman. Give her
more corn. Shell give us more silver eggs.
The old mother did what her daughter said. She gave the hen more corn to eat. She forgot to give her
clean water to drink. The next day the hen died. She was overfed. The old woman and her daughter cried and
cried. The hen was a big loss to them. Their dream of having a nice house was gone!

Lesson of the story: Do not aim for more when there is enough.

up! Ill go out to look for food. Stay home. Be a good little mouse. The cat is always around. Yes, mother.
Ill be good little mouse. Ill take care of myself. said Mousie. Mother Mouse went away. Ill go back to
sleep, Mousie said. Ill wake up before Mother comes home. After some time Mousie woke up. Ill go out
and see Mother. If cat sees me, Ill run very fast. said Mousie to himself. The he ran out of his hole. Mousie
was very happy. He danced and jumped, danced and jumped.
Just then Catty came. She saw the Mousie dancing and jumping. Ill catch him, Catty said to herself.
Oh! Oh! The cat is around, said Mousie. Ill run to my hole. Mousie ran as fast as he could, too. Catty
caught Mousie! Poor Mousie! He did not know what to do. He began to think. At last he thought of something.
Please, do not eat me yet, begged Mousie. Ill tell you something. Before you eat me, you may wash your
face first. Everyone washes his face first before eating. You must do it. Will I do it? Will I do it? Oh, yes!
Ill wash my face first before I eat you, said Catty. And she began to wash her face.
While Catty was washing her face, Mousie ran away as fast as he could. He was very tired when he
reached his hole. Poor Catty! Mousie fooled her. She was sorry that she let the mouse go. I will not follow
what that mouse said. Ill eat first before I wash my face. I do not care what others do. Ill do what I want.
From that day on until now, all cats eat first before they wash their faces.
