Idaho Kindergarten Math: What Students Learn
Kindergarten is where the math journey begins. Idaho Kindergarten students following the Idaho Content Standards Math cover a wide range of foundational skills — from counting to 100 and writing numbers to comparing groups and solving simple word problems. StudyPug covers every one of these topics with video lessons and practice problems your child can use at home.
Counting and Number Sense
A big part of Kindergarten math is learning to count. Students count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any given number, and learn to write numbers from 0 to 20. They connect counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number counted tells you how many objects are in a group. StudyPug's video lessons walk through each of these skills step by step.
Comparing Numbers and Groups
Idaho Kindergarten students learn to compare groups of objects to decide which has more, less, or the same amount. They also compare written numerals between 1 and 10. These comparison skills lay the groundwork for later work with inequalities and number lines.
Addition and Subtraction Foundations
- Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, drawings, and equations
- Solve addition and subtraction word problems within 10
- Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 in more than one way
- Find the number that makes 10 when added to any number from 1 to 9
- Fluently add and subtract within 5
StudyPug has a video lesson and practice problems for every one of these skills, so your child can get comfortable with addition and subtraction at their own pace.
Place Value: Numbers 11 to 19
Kindergarten students begin exploring place value by composing and decomposing numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some additional ones. This is a key building block for understanding tens and ones in later grades.
Measurement and Data
Students describe measurable attributes like length and weight, directly compare two objects using those attributes, and classify objects into categories. They count objects in each category and sort by count — an early introduction to data and graphing concepts.
Geometry and Shapes
Idaho Kindergarten students learn to name and describe shapes in their environment, identify shapes as two-dimensional or three-dimensional, and analyze and compare shapes of different sizes and orientations. They also build and draw shapes and compose simple shapes to form larger ones.
