Course Title: SHS MATH1 - GENERAL MATHEMATICS

Course Credits: 4 units Contact Hours/Week: 4 hours/week Prerequisite: None
Course The chapters on functions are an extension of the functions learned in Junior High
Description: School, where the focus was primarily on linear, quadratic, and polynomial
functions. In Grade 11, learners will be exposed to other types of functions such as
piecewise, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Related topics such as
solving equations and inequalities, as well as identifying the domain, range,
intercepts, and asymptotes are also included.

The chapters on business mathematics in Grade 11 may be learners’ first

opportunity to be exposed to topics related to financial literacy. Here, they learn
about simple and compound interest, annuities, loans, stocks, and bonds. These
lessons can hopefully prepare learners to analyze business-related problems and
make sound financial decision.

Course At the end of this course, the students should be able to:
Learning Knowledge
Outcomes 1. Learn the key concepts in relations, functions, rational function, inverse,
exponential and logarithmic functions.
2. Understand the key concepts of simple and compound interests; simple
and general annuities; stocks and loans.
3. Demonstrate understanding the key concepts of logic, syllogism and
fallacies.
Skills
4. Construct mathematical models to represent real-life situations using
functions.
5. use mathematics in other areas such as finance or business.
6. Apply logic in real-life arguments.
Values
7. appreciate the nature and uses of mathematics in everyday life; and
8. affirm honesty and integrity in the application of mathematics to various
human endeavors.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS

After each module, students will submit:

1. Worksheet
A set of problems or exercises that serves as an assessment tool to help the instructor/professor
understand the process and outcome of student’s learning. It is also a tool to help students monitor
the progress of their own learning and to allow further understanding of lessons contained in the
module.
2. Reflection Paper
A two- to three-page write-up where students analyze and reflect on their activities or experiences
that shaped their insights and thoughts of the lessons contained in the module. Students are free to
use whichever type of reflection paper most familiar to them.

Specifications:
* on A4 size paper
* 12-pt Arial font
* 1.5 space between lines, no extra space between paragraphs
* paper margins: 1 in x 1 in
* include references (any citation system) * paper heading format:

Note:
1. The same heading format, paper size, and margins be used for handwritten reflection
paper. However, use only blue- or black-ink ball pen.
2. Detach the Worksheet from the module and attach the Reflection Paper to it.
3. Date of submission for both requirements is indicated in the module.

Date of submission and details (specifications and rubrics) will be discussed before Week 9.
3. Math Project
Students will exhibit the use of mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills to a range of issues
encompassing social, political, economic, and financial aspects or involving natural sciences,
technology, and the arts through any of the following forms: infographics, digital stories, dance
choreography, art design, mini-magazine, song/poem/rap, storyboard/comics, or play
(script, act).

Excellent a. The student showed a deep understanding about the problem:
a.1 the answer is labeled correctly
a.2 the answer is complete
a.3 the answer is clearly defined
a.4 the answer is in simplified form
b. Appropriate solution or strategy is well implemented and lead to a correct
solution.
Very Appropriate solution or strategy is implemented but the student was unable to
Satisfactory the correct answer for some reasons: 1. the answer is not labeled correctly
2. the answer is incomplete
3. the answer is not clearly defined
4. the answer is not in simplified form

Satisfactory a. The student was able to use a correct solution or strategy but some details or
data were misunderstood and/or ignored and was not able to derive the correct
answer.
b. There is evidence that the student tried to derive another solution but failed to
obtain a correct answer.
c. Appropriate solution or strategy is implemented but it contains unnecessary
procedures.
d. Shows understanding about the problem but not fully.
Poor a. Incorrect and inappropriate solution or strategy led to an incorrect answer or there
is no answer.
b. There is evidence that the student tried to start a new solution yet failed to obtain
a correct and appropriate solution.
c. Shows some understanding about the problem.
Very Poor a. The paper is blank.
b. The given data or values in the problem were recopied and there is no evidence
of a solution or strategy in solving the problem.
c. There is a solution or strategy but it shows no understanding of the problem.
