The
kindergarten standards
place emphasis
on developing
the concept of
number by counting;
combining, sorting,
and comparing
sets of objects;
recognizing and
describing simple
repeating patterns;
and recognizing
shapes and sizes
of figures and
objects. Students
will investigate
nonstandard measurement,
collect data,
and create graphs.
While learning mathematics,
students will be actively
engaged, using concrete materials
and appropriate technologies
such as calculators and computers.
However, facility in the use
of technology shall not be
regarded as a substitute for
a student's understanding
of quantitative concepts and
relationships or for proficiency
in basic computations.
Mathematics has its own language,
and the acquisition of specialized
vocabulary and language patterns
is crucial to a student's
understanding and appreciation
of the subject. Students should
be encouraged to use correctly
the concepts, skills, symbols,
and vocabulary identified
in the following set of standards.
Problem solving has been integrated
throughout the six content
strands. The development of
problem-solving skills should
be a major goal of the mathematics
program at every grade level.
Instruction in the process
of problem solving will need
to be integrated early and
continuously into each student's
mathematics education. Students
must be helped to develop
a wide range of skills and
strategies for solving a variety
of problem types.

| K.1 |
The
student,
given two
sets containing
10 or fewer
concrete
items, will
identify
and describe
one set
as having
more, fewer,
or the same
number of
members
as the other
set, using
the concept
of one -
to - one
correspondence. |
| K.2 |
The
student,
given a
set containing
10 or fewer
concrete
items, will
- tell
how
many
are
in
the
set
by counting
the
number
of
items orally;
select
the
corresponding
numeral
from
a
given
set;
and
- write
the
numeral
to
tell
how
many
are
in
the
set.

| K.3 |
The
student,
given an
ordered
set of three
objects
and/or pictures,
will indicate
the ordinal
position
of each
item, first

third, and
the ordered
position
of each
item from
left-to-right,
right-to-left,
top-to-bottom,
and/or bottom-to-top. |
| K.4 |
The
student
will investigate

student
will count
forward
to 30 and
backward

and subtract
whole numbers,
using up
to 10 concrete
items. |
Measurement |
| K.7 |
The
student
will recognize
a penny,
nickel,
dime, and
quarter
and will
determine
the value
of a collection
of pennies
and/or nickels
whose total
value is
10 cents
or less. |
| K.8 |
The
student
will identify
the instruments
used to measure length
(ruler), weight
(scale), time (clock:
digital
and analog;
calendar:
day, month,
and season),
and temperature
(thermometer). |
| K.9 |
The
student
will tell
time to
the hour,
using an analog
or digital clock. |
| K.10 |
The
student
will compare
two objects
or events,
using
direct
comparisons
or nonstandard
units
of measure,
according
to one
or more
of the
following
attributes:
length
(shorter,
longer),
height
(taller,
shorter),
weight(heavier,
lighter),
temperature
(hotter,
colder).
Examples
of nonstandard
units
include
foot length,
hand span,
new pencil,
paper
clip,
block. |
|
| K.11 |
The
student
will identify,
describe,
and draw
two-dimensional
(plane)
geometric
figures
(circle, triangle,
square,
and rectangle). |
| K.12 |
The
student
will describe
the location
of one object
relative
to another
(above,
below, next
to) and
identify
representations
of plane
geometric
figures
(circle,
triangle,
square,
and rectangle)
regardless
of their
position
and orientation
in space. |
| K.13 |
The
student
will compare
the size
(larger,
smaller)
and shape
of plane
geometric
figures
(circle,
triangle,
square,
and rectangle). |
Probability
and
Statistics |
| K.14 |
The
student
will gather
data relating
to familiar
experiences
by counting and
tallying |

objects
and information,
using objects
graphs,
pictorial
graphs and
tables. |
| K.16 |
