Welcome to ASK’s Mathematics Program!
Welcome to
the American School of Kuwait Mathematics Department
Homepage. At ASK we offer a Math program
specifically designed for college-bound students.
Included in the program are the required core
classes for basic math competency and advanced
classes for those students who may want more of a
challenge.
The core class sequence is Algebra I, Geometry and
Algebra II and the advanced courses offered are
Pre-Calculus, Calculus, AP Calculus (AB) and AP
Statistics. Also for students who have completed
Algebra II, Applications of Math (a project-based
exploration of Mathematics) is offered.
Students in the regular track take Algebra I in
grade 9 and complete their core math requirement by
taking Algebra II grade 11. And many of those
students choose to continue their study by enrolling
in Pre-Calculus or Applications of Math in grade 12.
Advanced students take Algebra I in grade 8 and
complete their core requirement by taking
Pre-Calculus in grade 11. They will then have the
option to further their study with an AP class in
grade 12.
Academic expectations at ASK are high; consequently,
AP classes are only recommended for students who
exhibit both a personal maturity and a rigorous
proficiency in mathematics. A grade of ‘B’ or better
in Algebra II is required for admittance into AP
Statistics and a ‘B’ or better in Pre-Calculus is
required for admittance into AP Calculus.
We also believe in the effective instruction of
technology and therefore, Graphing Calculators
(preferably TI-83 or TI-84) are required for all
math classes starting with Algebra II.
Although ASK students are required to complete only
3 years of mathematics, it is strongly recommended
that each student continue studying math during
their senior year.
Between the experience and skill of our faculty and
the enthusiasm and hard work of our students, it has
been and continues to be a rewarding joy to be part
of such a wonderful department.
