Kentucky Kindergarten Math: Topics and Standards

Kentucky Kindergarten math is guided by the Kentucky Academic Standards Math. These standards cover five core areas: counting and cardinality, operations in base ten, operations and algebraic thinking, measurement and data, and geometry. StudyPug has a video lesson and practice problems for every one of these topics.

Counting and Number Sense

Kindergarten students learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any given number, and write numerals from 0 to 20. They connect counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number counted tells how many objects are in a group. Students also compare groups and written numbers to decide which is greater than, less than, or equal to another.

Addition and Subtraction

Early addition and subtraction in Kindergarten uses objects, fingers, drawings, and verbal explanations. Students solve word problems, add and subtract within 10, decompose numbers into pairs, and find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number. Fluency with adding and subtracting within 5 is a key goal at this grade level.

  • Represent addition and subtraction with objects and drawings
  • Solve word problems within 10
  • Decompose numbers into pairs in more than one way
  • Find the missing number that makes 10
  • Fluently add and subtract within 5

Place Value Foundations

Students begin to understand place value by composing and decomposing numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some additional ones. This lays the groundwork for understanding the base-ten number system in later grades.

Measurement and Data

Kindergarteners describe measurable attributes such as length and weight, directly compare two objects using a shared attribute, and classify objects into categories. They count objects in each category and sort categories by count — an early introduction to data analysis.

Geometry

Students identify and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, describe their positions using words like above, below, beside, and next to, and analyze shapes by their similarities and differences. They also build and draw shapes, and compose simple shapes to form larger ones.

  • Name shapes regardless of size or orientation
  • Identify flat (2D) and solid (3D) shapes
  • Describe positions of objects in the environment
  • Build and draw shapes from components
  • Compose simple shapes into larger shapes
