ARAL Math Grade 3 Tutor’s Guide & Worksheets (SY 2026-2027)

The Learner’s Worksheets match the Tutor’s Guide. After the tutor models a skill, the learner practices it on the worksheet. This follows a simple and proven routine: I do, we do, you do.

Practical benefits:

• Printable and low-cost. You only need paper, pencils, and a few everyday objects.
• Aligned to the guide. No hunting for matching practice.
• Good for home use. Parents can use them as extra practice, too.

How to Use the ARAL Math Grade 3 Materials: A Step-by-Step Plan

Having the files is the easy part. Here is a practical way to run a session. This is a suggested flow you can adapt, not an official DepEd script.

Step 1: Start with a quick warm-up (5 minutes)

Review a skill from the previous session with two or three quick questions. Ask “What is 8 × 6?” or “What comes next: 5, 10, 15, ___?” This tells you right away what stuck and what didn’t.

Step 2: Teach with objects first (10 minutes)

Grade 3 learners understand math better when they can touch it first, then draw it, then write it. This is called the concrete-pictorial-abstract approach.

• Concrete: bottle caps, sticks, or play money
• Pictorial: drawings, number lines, arrays
• Abstract: the written equation

Step 3: Do one example together (5 minutes)

Work one problem from the Tutor’s Guide with the learner, and say your thinking out loud. Then do a second one where the learner leads and you only prompt.

Step 4: Independent practice on the worksheet (10-15 minutes)

Let the learner work alone. Walk around or watch quietly. Don’t rescue too fast, because productive struggle is how learning sticks.

Step 5: Check and close (5 minutes)

Review answers together. Ask the learner to explain one problem in their own words. If they can explain it, they know it.
