About Kindergarten Kentucky math

Kentucky Kindergarten math follows the Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS), which organize learning around number sense, operations, measurement, and geometry. Students in this course build skills in counting to 100, comparing groups and written numerals, adding and subtracting within 10, composing teen numbers, describing and sorting objects by attributes, and identifying two- and three-dimensional shapes. StudyPug provides lessons, guided practice, and step-by-step explanations for every strand in the Kentucky Kindergarten curriculum.

  • Strands: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, measurement and data, and geometry
  • Video lessons for every Kindergarten math topic, aligned to Kentucky Academic Standards
  • Practice problems and worked examples for addition, subtraction, counting, and shapes

Kentucky Kindergarten Math Topics

  • Counting and Cardinality: Counting to 100 by ones and tens, counting forward from a given number, writing numerals 0-20, connecting counting to cardinality, and answering 'how many?' questions about groups of up to 20 objects.
  • Comparing Numbers: Identifying whether a group is greater than, less than, or equal to another group, and comparing two written numerals between 1 and 10.
  • Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Representing addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, drawings, and equations; solving word problems within 10; decomposing numbers into pairs; finding the number that makes 10; and fluently adding and subtracting within 5.
  • Number and Operations in Base Ten: Composing and decomposing numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones.
  • Measurement and Data: Describing measurable attributes such as length and weight, directly comparing two objects, classifying objects into categories, and sorting categories by count.
  • Geometry: Naming and describing shapes in the environment, identifying flat and solid shapes, analyzing two- and three-dimensional shapes, building shapes from components, drawing shapes, and composing simple shapes to form larger ones.
