Mathematics
Mathematics is a required course in each year of high school. The mathematics program reinforces and extends students’ arithmetic, geometric, algebraic, and number theory skills. While computations are seen as a part of mathematical study, KCIS math students also acquire, refine, and apply numerous problem-solving strategies to a variety of textbook, classical, and real-world problems.
Technology and manipulatives are regularly used. Strong communication skills are stressed throughout middle school math courses, and a number of investigations and reports add to students’ command of their mathematical abilities. Reports emphasize clear organization and communication of information and include learning and using various reporting methods. It is our belief that mathematics aids our students in developing and enhancing the ability to reason and deduce. By providing our students with opportunities to apply learned mathematical concepts to real world situations via story problems, projects, and group work, we aim to foster their sense of curiosity.
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.
