Kindergarten math builds number sense: counting objects and knowing the last number said tells how many, comparing groups, joining and separating small sets, naming flat shapes and solid shapes, and sorting by size and weight. Money and saving get a first, gentle introduction too.
One stop per unit. Filled stops have practice activities today.
Units and standards preview
The knowledge-and-skills strands below are the state's, reproduced from Mathematics, Kindergarten, Adopted 2012.. Open a unit to read each student expectation and jump to the activities that practice it.
1Mathematical process standards. The student uses mathematical processes to acquire and demonstrate mathematical understanding.0/7 practiced
(A) apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace;
19 TAC 111.2(b)(1)(A)
(B) use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution;
19 TAC 111.2(b)(1)(B)
(C) select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems;
19 TAC 111.2(b)(1)(C)
+ 4 more expectations for members
2Number and operations. The student applies mathematical process standards to understand how to represent and compare whole numbers, the relative position and magnitude of whole numbers, and relationships within the numeration system.4/9 practiced
(A) count forward and backward to at least 20 with and without objects;
(B) read, write, and represent whole numbers from 0 to at least 20 with and without objects or pictures;
19 TAC 111.2(b)(2)(B)
(C) count a set of objects up to at least 20 and demonstrate that the last number said tells the number of objects in the set regardless of their arrangement or order;
This is a preview. Members get the full Kindergarten Math course: every standard, every activity, progress by standard for each child, printables, and Ask Bacc.
Count everything: stairs, grapes, cars at a stoplight. Count backward too.
Use real coins. Sort them, name them, and trade five pennies for a nickel.
Talk about shapes at the table: which foods are circles, which boxes are cubes.
