About fifteen teacher-authors and IM developers from different districts and municipalities across the province are the respondents of this study. The researcher made use of mixed method in the analysis and treatment of data. Findings reveal that mathematics teachers developed and utilized instructional materials that are very limited for classroom consumptions in the Division of Sorsogon.
