REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE History points out that English has been used as the medium of instruction since the American regime. In the 1935 Constitution, Tagalog was launched as the national language. This constitutional mandate was followed by the Bilingual Policy by virtue of Department of Education and Culture which specified the use of the national language, Filipino, as the medium of instruction in such domains as Work Education, Health Educational, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Meanwhile, English was for the use in Science and Mathematics and as a subject. Soon, this was superseded by Department Order No. 52, series of 1987 which ordered the use of Filipino and English as the media of instruction at all levels where the citizens are expected to possess skills in English in order to meet the needs of the country in the community of nations. Math is a language and is not a recent phenomenon. Siskin (1996) cites Galileo in his ‘The Assayer” written almost 4 centuries ago, who called this universe... “A grand book which stands continually open to our gaze, but which cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed. It is written in the language of mathematics and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these, one wanders about it in labyrinth...” (p. 231). Today, Math is a far cry from that described by Galileo. It has grown by leaps and bounds with tremendous expansion of mathematical knowledge. There are now phenomenal advances in modern technology. Mathematical language is now integral in wide array of human activities, such as internet dealings, high speed communications, worldwide weather forecasts and space explorations.
