Kindergarten Math in Kansas: What Your Child Will Learn
Kansas Kindergarten math covers five core areas: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number sense with teen numbers, measurement and data, and geometry. These topics follow the Kansas Mathematics Standards and build the skills your child will use throughout elementary school.
Counting and Number Sense
Kindergartners in Kansas learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, write numbers from 0 to 20, and understand what numbers represent. They practice counting objects to answer "how many?" questions and learn to compare groups as greater than, less than, or equal to each other.
- Count to 100 by ones and by tens
- Write numbers from 0 to 20
- Connect counting to cardinality
- Compare two numbers between 1 and 10
Addition and Subtraction
Kansas Kindergarten students begin addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations. They solve word problems, decompose numbers into pairs, find the number that makes 10, and fluently add and subtract within 5.
- Add and subtract within 10
- Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10
- Find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number
- Fluently add and subtract within 5
Teen Numbers, Measurement, and Shapes
Students compose and decompose numbers 11-19 into ten ones and extra ones. They describe measurable attributes like length and weight, compare objects, and classify objects by category. In geometry, they name and describe flat and solid shapes, compare them, and build or draw simple shapes.
- Compose numbers 11-19 from ten ones and further ones
- Compare objects by length or weight
- Classify objects and sort categories by count
- Name, identify, and analyze two- and three-dimensional shapes
