Mathematics

The Math Program at Kang Chiao International School follows a comprehensive, well-rounded curriculum designed to meet the diverse needs of students from Grades 7 to 12. The department adopts the Common Core State Standards in Mathematics, ensuring a cohesive progression of mathematical skills and knowledge.

For Grades 7 to 10, the curriculum is structured within the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), where students are encouraged to develop a deep understanding of mathematical concepts, including arithmetic, geometry, algebra, and number theory. The program emphasizes problem-solving strategies and the application of mathematical knowledge to both textbook and real-world problems. Technology and manipulatives are integral to learning, allowing students to explore abstract concepts in a concrete way. Communication and mathematical reasoning are at the core of the courses, with students engaging in investigations, projects, and reports that require them to clearly organize and communicate their findings.

Additionally, the school offers an Honors Program for Grades 8 to 10 students who demonstrate advanced proficiency in mathematics. This program provides accelerated and enriched coursework, allowing these students to delve deeper into mathematical concepts and challenges, further enhancing their problem-solving skills and preparing them for higher-level math studies.

In the Senior High program at Kang Chiao International School, students have access to multiple academic pathways in mathematics. The IB Diploma Programme offers two courses: Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches and Mathematics: Applications and Interpretations, both available at Standard and Higher Levels. The AP Program includes a variety of Advanced Placement (AP) courses such as Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Precalculus, and Statistics, providing students with rigorous preparation for college-level mathematics. The Regular Program caters to different proficiency levels, offering foundational courses like Math Explorations as well as advanced options, including Multivariable Calculus.

The Kang Chiao Math Program goes beyond basic computation, focusing on enhancing students' reasoning, problem-solving, and deduction skills. By incorporating story problems, real-world applications, collaborative group work, and technology, the program nurtures a sense of curiosity and prepares students for advanced study and the application of mathematics in various fields.

Students will be able to do the following:

Build new mathematical knowledge through problem-solving.
Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.
Use mathematical language to clearly communicate mathematical thinking.
Recognize, identify, and apply mathematics in situations outside of the classroom.
Understand the connections of mathematical content strands throughout the curriculum.
Appreciate the connections between mathematics and real-world applications.
Discover and analyze abstract mathematical concepts, use graphing calculators, and use computer software as expected throughout the curriculum.
