Kindergarten Online Math Curriculum and Lesson Plans
The Time4Learning kindergarten math lessons put a fun spin on learning important foundational skills for the youngest of students. In addition to engaging, interactive activities that teach the lessons, each of the chapters features an overarching theme such as safari, playtime, and cooking.
This page provides information on what kindergarten math a student should know, math objectives for the year, and why Time4Learning is the best choice to help your child reach all of the kindergarten math goals and objectives.
What Math Should a Kindergarten Student Know?
Kindergarten math is all about becoming familiar with the basics and setting a solid foundation. Students will learn to count and recognize numbers, identify shapes and their attributes, add and subtract numbers, and complete patterns.
Below are some of the other skills that a student should know in kindergarten math.
- Create, describe and compare 2-D and 3-D shapes
- Compare groups using the terms greater, less, fewer, more
- Use tally charts and picture graphs to represent numbers
- Recognize that larger numbers are made up of smaller numbers
- Order events in a sequence
Kindergarten Math Objectives
For most students, kindergarten is their first official year of schooling. Gaining a solid understanding of basic concepts now, will help them feel confident and prepared as they learn new math skills in the years to come. That’s why it’s so important that students use a comprehensive curriculum, like Time4Learning, to help them master these concepts and reach all their kindergarten math goals and objectives.
Below are some of the math objectives a kindergarten math curriculum should help your child achieve.
- Count objects up to 20
- Use an analog and digital clock to identify time to the nearest hour
- Identify pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters and know their value
- Compare the length and weight of objects
- Explore properties of addition and subtraction
