84 PLUS models for students to purchase. The price is roughly PhP10,000 each; however, it<br />
is strongly suggested that students who travel overseas purchase their graphing calculators<br />
abroad at considerably more favorable prices in order to avoid high customs duties in the<br />
Philippines. As a reminder, please note that graphing calculators are required for the first<br />
day of class.<br />
The following courses are offered with the usual grade level listed. Exceptions may occur<br />
and placement is then made in consultation with the Program Leader and Guidance<br />
Counselor.<br />
Math 1 Grade 9<br />
Pre-requisite: Grade 8 Math with departmental recommendation and/or approval<br />
1 year, 1 credit<br />
Math 1 is a mathematics course for incoming freshmen whose interests and academic<br />
strengths lie in areas where no more than general mathematics is needed. The aims of the<br />
course are varied and instruction is differentiated to meet the needs of the population. We<br />
hope to prepare a small number of students for promotion into Integrated Math 2 in Grade<br />
10, but are aware that others will move at a slower pace. In either case, an emphasis is<br />
given to developing flexible knowledge of concepts, with particular attention to solidifying<br />
an understanding of numbers and basic operations. Topics include: algebra and functions –<br />
variables; expressions; proportions; building relationships from number patterns and solving<br />
linear equations; geometry – congruence, similarity and right-angle trigonometry; statistics<br />
and probability.<br />
Integrated Math 1 Grade 9<br />
Pre-requisite: Grade 8 Math with departmental recommendation and/or approval<br />
1 year, 1 credit<br />
This course is intended for students who have had some previous study of basic algebra and<br />
who are interested in pursuing IB in Grade 11. It is the completion of a first-year algebra<br />
course and an introduction to geometry. The following topics are included in Integrated<br />
Math 1: solving and graphing linear equations and inequalities; systems of linear equations<br />
and inequalities; basic arithmetic operations on polynomials; factoring and solving<br />
quadratic equations; the Pythagorean Theorem and radicals; distance and mid-point<br />
formulae; perimeter; area; surface area and volume; angles of parallel lines and<br />
transversals; quadrilaterals; triangle congruency and similarity; circle geometry; exponents<br />
and trigonometric ratios.<br />
