📋 DepEd MATATAG Kindergarten Numeracy Performance Levels Ages 4.5 – 6 Years

Domain / Competency	Beginning (1-2 pts)	Developing (3-4 pts)	Proficient (Mastered)
1. Number Sense & Counting (1–10)	Needs physical guidance counting beyond 3; skips numbers in sequence.	Counts 1–10 with occasional one-to-one errors; understands zero as empty.	Mastered (5/5): Confidently counts sets up to 10, writes numerals correctly, understands '0'.
2. Comparison & Quantities	Guesses size rather than comparing quantities side-by-side.	Identifies more vs. less on contrasting sets (e.g., 2 vs 6), needs prompt for equal.	Mastered (3/3): Instantly differentiates more, less, and equal sets.
3. Geometry & Repeating Patterns	Confuses triangle and square; cannot predict next item in AB pattern.	Identifies basic shapes by sight; completes simple picture patterns with cues.	Mastered (7/7): Counts corners correctly, names 2D shapes, extends AB and size patterns.
4. Measurement & Operations Readiness	Struggles to combine concrete sets without physical manipulatives.	Counts total when objects are pictured together; counts remaining after subtraction.	Mastered (7/7): Accurately measures with unit blocks; solves simple pictorial addition & subtraction.

💡 Personalized Tutorial & Home Learning Intervention Guide

• Score 22–27 (Ready for Grade 1 Math): Learner exhibits robust foundational numeracy, strong spatial discrimination, and emergent operational problem solving. Recommended: Advance to Grade 1 Number Bonds and Place Value (Tens & Ones).
• Score 15–21 (Consolidating Foundations): Practice one-to-one correspondence using concrete objects (counters, bottle caps, Montessori spindle boxes). Revisit the concept of zero and practice counting backwards from 10 to 1.
• Score Below 15 (Early Intervention Recommended): Provide structured sensory play with 2D cut-out shapes, ten-frame dot boards, and physical pairing activities. Book a diagnostic PERSONALIZED assessment with Kiddie Blocks tutorial mentors.
