PSHS Curriculum
PSHS Curriculum
with thorough understanding of calculus and basic linear algebra in preparation to advance coursework
in mathematics, sciences and engineering. The learning process includes lecture-discussion, discovery
and inquiry-based learning, mind / concept mapping strategy, computer-aided instructions and
cooperative activities that help students improve their problem-solving, logical and critical thinking
skills.
Mathematics 6 gives students the knowledge and skills in integral calculus and basic linear algebra
which are prerequisite in understanding concepts in engineering and some sciences. The subject
includes major topics such as techniques of integration, application of integrals, polar coordinates,
vectors, and matrices. The students are exposed to different approaches in solving problems in order
Level 1 is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge of the subject necessary in their
future coursework in different fields of sciences. Level 2 on the other hand presents students with
more advanced concepts of the subject intended primarily for students who plan to pursue
engineering and mathematics degrees. Moreover, Level 2 is differentiated to Level 1 with additional
