Maryland Kindergarten Math: Topics and Skills

Maryland Kindergarten math builds the number sense and problem-solving skills every child needs for future success. Aligned to Maryland College Career Ready Standards, the Kindergarten curriculum covers five major areas: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, measurement and data, and geometry.

Counting and Cardinality

Kindergartners learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any given number, and write numbers from 0 to 20. They connect counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number counted tells how many objects there are. Students also compare groups of objects and written numerals to determine greater than, less than, or equal to.

Addition and Subtraction Foundations

Maryland Kindergarten students represent addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations. They solve word problems within 10, decompose numbers into pairs, find the number that makes 10, and fluently add and subtract within 5. These skills prepare students for 1st grade operations.

  • Add and subtract within 10 using multiple strategies
  • 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

Number and Operations in Base Ten

Students compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, building an early understanding of place value that will be expanded in later grades.

Measurement and Data

Kindergartners describe measurable attributes like length and weight, directly compare two objects using a common attribute, and classify objects into categories. They count and sort objects by category — an introduction to data thinking.

Geometry

Students identify and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes regardless of size or orientation. They describe shapes using informal language, compare shapes by their attributes, model shapes by building and drawing them, and compose simple shapes to form larger shapes.
