Math for Engaged Learning: Basic Calculus Second Edition is intended to cater to the needs of senior high school students following the standards set by DepEd as indicated in the K to 12 curriculum. Emphasis is given on mathematical skills and performance tasks or project-based activities. It uses mastery and analytical approach. The discussions vary in style depending on the topic of interest so that the approach may involve backward design, discovery approach, or outcome-based approach. This book covers limits and continuity, derivatives, and integration.

Math Connections in the Digital Age: Basic Calculus covers both differential and integral calculus. The lessons are introduced with the use of both algebraic and graphical approaches. As intended, realistic approach of teaching is used on examples which are arranged from easy to complex, presented in a step-by-step manner, and based on real-life situations. This textbook provides the necessary background and foundation for much more advanced theoretical and practical aspects of disciplines that will be taken under the STEM Program. The learning competencies in the textbook comply with the K to 12 curriculum for senior high school. This textbook teaches the students how to determine the limit of a function, differentiate and integrate algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions in one variable, and to formulate and solve problems involving continuity, extreme values, related rates, population models, and areas of plane regions.

Math for Engaged Learning: Business Mathematics Second Edition is intended to cater to the needs of Senior High School students following the standards set by DepEd as indicated in the K to 12 curriculum guide. Emphasis is given on the mathematical skills and performance task or project-based activities. This book covers the following: a review of the fundamental mathematics operations using decimals, fractions, percent, ratio and proportion; mathematics concepts and skills in buying and selling, computing gross and net earnings, overtime and bussiness data presentation, analysis and interpretation.

Math Connections in the Digital Age: Business Mathematics (ABM) maintains a simplistic approach to its lesson presentation that promotes self-directed learning among students. It provides an understanding and promotes an appreciation of the basic concepts of mathematics as applied in business contexts. It includes a review of the fundamental mathematics operations using decimals, fractions, percent, ratio, and proportion; mathematics concepts and skills in buying and selling, computing gross and net earnings, overtime and business data presentation, analysis and interpretation.

Social Sciences in a Globalizing World: Interdisciplinary Perspectives for Filipino Students employs the different perspectives of the social sciences and discusses basic concepts, subjects, and methods of inquiry in order for us to go beyond our individual circumstances and seek other forms of knowing to arrive at a more scientific view of the complex and patterned operations of society and culture. It intends to defamiliariaze the familiar. It demonstrates how human social and cultural life is far more complex than what common sense tells us. It challenges commonly held beliefs that we often take as true because we are accustomed to experiencing them on a daily basis. By following the K to 12 basic education curriculum guide and using the Understanding by Design framework, this textbook equips the Filipino youth with skills in the social sciences, aiming to develop in the students these three qualities: empirically-driven, reflexive, and critical. In this book, the ideas and theories forwarded by influential thinkers are also contextualized to Philippine social realities in order for students to be able to use these in analyzing their own situation. The textbook also comes with a detailed learning guide with curriculum map.

Narratives In and Of the Mind: Approaches to Creative Nonfiction with Exercises complies with DepEd’s call to view the study of creative nonfiction as a means to learn the utilitarian skills of writing, reading, and communication. Incorporated with these skills are lessons in critical thinking in the form of understanding definitions and recognizing their enactments through reading and writing. The textbook also helps train the students to write polished versions of their piece of literary reportage, write a personal or a travel narrative, produce an exegesis essay which serves as a reflection paper on the genre and their understanding of it. More importantly, the textbook challenges them to view writing within this genre as not just a means to a communicative end, rather an activity that is fully engaging. The textbook comes with Teachers Wraparound Edition, the new learning guide format of the House. It also contains a detailed curriculum map.

Fine Lines: Writing Poetry, Fiction, and Drama combines the academic rigor of a literature classroom with the process-oriented bent of a creative writing set-up. It aims to give the students enough grounding in terms of sample texts and discussion points for them to be aware of the various formal structures that characterize various literary genres, alongside a look into the more intricate issues confronted by writers during the creative process. Thus, the textbook hopes to utilize and channel the knowledge acquired by the students in previous literature classes, the expected range of topics and learning competencies outlined by the K to 12 Curriculum of the Department of Education, and the skills needed by the individual practicing in earnest creative writing. The textbook comes with Teachers Wraparound Edition, the new learning guide format of the House. It also contains a detailed curriculum map.
