Kindergarten Curriculum
Math

 

 

By the end of Kindergarten, students understand the consistency of small numbers, quantities and simple shapes in their everyday environment. They count, compare, describe, sort objects, and develop a sense about properties and patterns. The following are some examples of skills and concepts developed in the areas of:


Number Sense

  • match numerals to sets of numbers
  • count with one-to-one correspondence (touch objects while counting) to 30
  • comprehend relationships between numbers to 30
  • understand simple addition and subtraction to 10 with manipulatives

Algebra, Functions and Patterns

  • sort and classify objects by attribute

Measurement and Geometry

  • compare length, weight, and capacity
  • demonstrate an understanding of concepts of time and tools that measure time
  • identify and compare by attributes-circle, triangle, square, rectangle, cone, sphere, and cube

Statistics, Data Analysis and Probability

  • identify, extend , and describe simple patterns with shape, size or color
  • collect information
  • record results using objects, pictures, and picture graphs

Mathematical Reasoning

  • use tools, strategies, manipulatives or sketches to model problems
  • solve problems in reasonable ways and explain reasoning
  • make decisions about how to solve a problem
