Comparing Amounts of Money

Always compare the amounts in pesos first, then the amounts in centavos.

Anyone remembers those educational TV shows like Epol Apple where Kuya Bodjie, formerly of Batibot, becomes Porfirio who talks to and teaches children in alternating Filipino and English? Or Bayani where the ABS-CBN talents portray the different Filipino heroes in shows like mini-series? What about Math-Tinik where there children learn about Math concepts through playing? Hiraya Manawari where Filipino values are being taught?

I remember one time we were at a McDonald’s outlet and there was this little boy who kept on looking at the nearby table. He wanted to go to that particular table and curious me, I had to just look. There was Kuya Bodjie, on that nearby table and the little boy, a fan of Epol Apple was able to recognize him. Talk about being able to see someone you just watch on TV in person, sitting next to you. The boy was very happy to see him. I remember too my niece (my late cousin’s daughter) who told me that they watch these TV shows IN SCHOOL, depending on the schedule. If the Math Tinik show is for Intermediate level, they watch, but if its for Primary level, the younger ones watch.

These are wonderful shows imparting great values as well as educational concepts being taught. So where have these TV shows are now?

Bodies of Water

There are five oceans in the world.

1. Pacific Ocean – the largest which occupies about one-third of the total Earth’s surface.
2. Atlantic Ocean
3. Indian Ocean
4. Southern Ocean
5. Arctic Ocean

Seas are smaller than oceans. Some examples are the China Sea and the Celebes Sea.

Lakes are small bodies of water surrounded by land.

The flowing bodies of water are streams, rivers, and waterfalls. Their water flows to the sea.

Water may be saltwater or freshwater.

Water from the sea is called saltwater and it is salty.

Water from rivers and lakes is called freshwater and it is not salty.
