Algebra
Work confidently with linear relationships
Why it matters: Linear equations, inequalities, functions, and systems are foundations for higher mathematics and real-world quantitative reasoning.
Example
If 3x + 7 = 25, solve for x. Answer: x = 6
Advanced Math
Analyze nonlinear equations and functions
Why it matters: Builds the skills needed for quadratic, exponential, polynomial, and other nonlinear problems commonly used in college-level mathematics.
Example
Solve x² − 5x + 6 = 0. Answer: x = 2 or x = 3
Problem-Solving & Data Analysis
Use ratios, percentages, and data
Why it matters: Helps you interpret tables and statistics, reason with units and rates, and solve practical problems using proportional relationships.
Example
A ₱2,000 item is discounted by 15%. Find the sale price. Answer: ₱1,700
Geometry & Trigonometry
Reason with shapes, angles, and triangles
Why it matters: Spatial reasoning and geometric relationships help you solve problems involving area, volume, circles, right triangles, and trigonometric ratios.
Example
A right triangle has legs of 6 and 8. Find the hypotenuse. Answer: 10
