Michigan Kindergarten Math: What Your Child Will Learn
Kindergarten math in Michigan follows the Michigan Mathematics Standards, which focus on building a strong number sense, early operations, geometry, and measurement skills. StudyPug covers every one of these topics with video lessons and practice problems your child can use at home.
Counting and Number Sense
Kindergarteners start by learning to count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any number, and write numbers from 0 to 20. They connect counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number counted tells how many objects are in a group. StudyPug's video lessons walk through each of these skills step by step.
- Count to 100 by ones and by tens
- Write numbers from 0 to 20
- Understand that counting tells how many
- Compare groups of objects and written numerals between 1 and 10
Addition and Subtraction
Michigan Kindergarten students learn to add and subtract within 10 using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations. They also practice decomposing numbers into pairs and finding the number that makes 10. StudyPug breaks each concept into short, clear video lessons.
- Represent addition and subtraction with objects and drawings
- Solve word problems within 10
- Decompose numbers up to 10 in more than one way
- Fluently add and subtract within 5
Shapes and Geometry
Kindergarteners identify, describe, and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes. They learn shape names regardless of orientation or size, and they compose simple shapes to form larger ones. These geometry skills align directly to the Michigan Mathematics Standards for Kindergarten.
- Name and describe flat and solid shapes
- Identify two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes
- Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes
Measurement and Data
Students describe measurable attributes like length and weight, compare two objects, and sort objects into categories. StudyPug has lessons for every measurement and data topic in the Kindergarten curriculum.
