Indiana Kindergarten Math: What Your Child Will Learn
Indiana Kindergarten math covers the core skills every young learner needs. Aligned to Indiana Academic Standards for Math, the Kindergarten curriculum focuses on number sense, operations, measurement, and geometry. StudyPug breaks every standard into short video lessons and practice problems so your child can learn at their own pace.
Counting and Number Sense
Kindergarteners learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any number, and write numbers from 0 to 20. They practice connecting counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number counted tells how many objects are in a group. These foundational skills support all future math learning.
- Count to 100 by ones and by tens
- Count forward from a given number
- Write numbers 0 to 20
- Connect counting to cardinality
- Answer "how many?" questions for up to 20 objects
Comparing Numbers
Students learn to compare groups of objects and written numerals between 1 and 10. They identify whether one group is greater than, less than, or equal to another — building the logical thinking needed for 1st grade math.
Addition and Subtraction
Kindergarten students are introduced to addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations. They solve word problems, add and subtract within 10, and practice decomposing numbers into pairs. Fluency with addition and subtraction within 5 is a key goal at this level.
- Represent addition and subtraction with objects and drawings
- Solve 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 a given number (1–9)
- Fluently add and subtract within 5
Place Value Foundations
Students begin to understand place value by composing and decomposing numbers 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones. This early work with tens and ones prepares students for 1st grade place value concepts.
Measurement and Data
Kindergarteners describe measurable attributes of objects such as length and weight. They directly compare two objects sharing a measurable attribute and classify objects into categories, counting and sorting by count.
Geometry and Shapes
Students learn to name and describe flat and solid shapes, identify their positions, and analyze their similarities and differences. They model shapes by building and drawing them, and compose simple shapes to form larger shapes.
- Name shapes regardless of orientation or size
- Identify two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes
- Analyze and compare shapes using informal language
- Build and draw shapes
- Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes
How StudyPug Helps Indiana Kindergarten Students
StudyPug provides video lessons and practice problems for every Indiana Academic Standards Kindergarten math topic. Lessons are short — typically 5 to 15 minutes — so young learners stay focused. Your child can watch a lesson, practice problems, and replay any segment as many times as needed. StudyPug works on computers, tablets, and phones, so help is always available at home or on the go.
