PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Dear Learner! This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master the nature of Personal Development. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.
The lesson in this module is about Actual Life Situations of the Middle and Late Adolescence. After going through this module, you are expected to:
• show the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in actual life situations.
General Mathematics 11
This learning resource on General Mathematics is composed of three major chapters: functions, business mathematics, and logic. Each lesson begins with a pre-assessment and ends with a post assessment. The main part of the lesson presents important ideas and provides several solved examples. Explanations to basic properties, the rationale for mathematical procedures, and the derivation of important formulas are also provided.
The chapters on functions are an extension of the functions learned in Junior High 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 decisions.
The final chapter on logic exposes learners to symbolic forms of propositions (or statements) and arguments. Through the use of symbolic logic, learners should be able to recognize equivalent propositions, identify fallacies, and judge the validity of arguments. The culminating lesson is an application of the rules of symbolic logic, as learners are taught to write their own justifications to mathematical and real-life statements.
