Why This Resource Matters for Grade 1 Teachers

Let’s be honest — preparing a Term Examination for Grade 1 is not the same as preparing one for older grade levels. At this stage, your learners are still building foundational literacy and numeracy skills. They are learning how to follow written instructions, recognize letters and numbers, and form basic mathematical and language concepts — all at the same time.

An examination that is too long, too wordy, or too complex can frustrate young learners rather than accurately measure what they know. That is why a carefully designed Grade 1 Term 1 Exam matters so much.

“A well-designed Grade 1 Term 1 Exam should reflect what learners were actually given an opportunity to learn — no more, no less.”

This resource is built on that principle.

Each learning area in this package comes with three components:

Component	Description

DepEd Policy Basis: What You Need to Know

This Grade 1 Term 1 Examination package was developed in alignment with two key DepEd issuances for SY 2026–2027:

DepEd Order No. 009, s. 2026

This order introduced the Three-Term School Calendar in Philippine Basic Education. Under this policy:

The school year is divided into three terms instead of four quarters
Term 1 covers the beginning of the school year up to the first major assessment period
Term Examinations replace Quarterly Assessments as the major summative measure

DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026

This order provides the Revised Guidelines on Classroom Assessment under the new three-term system. Key points relevant to Grade 1 teachers:

Summative Test 1 = 30% of the Examinations component
Summative Test 2 = 30% of the Examinations component
Term Examination = 40% of the Examinations component
Grade 1 falls under Key Stage 1, where assessments must be developmentally appropriate and teacher-determined
All tests must be built from a Table of Specifications (TOS)

Understanding these policies ensures your examinations are not only practical but also compliant with the latest DepEd guidelines.
