About Kindergarten North Carolina math

North Carolina Kindergarten math follows the NC Standard Course of Study, organized around five core areas: counting and cardinality, operations in base ten, operations and algebraic thinking, measurement and data, and geometry. Students count to 100, write numerals to 20, compare groups of objects, solve addition and subtraction problems within 10, and identify and compose two- and three-dimensional shapes. StudyPug provides step-by-step lessons and practice problems that follow this curriculum exactly.

  • Strands: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number and operations in base ten, measurement and data, and geometry
  • Step-by-step lessons for every Kindergarten math topic
  • Practice problems with instant feedback for each strand
  • Aligned to the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Kindergarten

NC Kindergarten Math Topics

  • Counting and Cardinality: Count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from a given number, write numerals 0-20, connect counting to cardinality, and answer 'how many?' questions for up to 20 objects.
  • Operations and Algebraic Thinking: Represent addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations; solve word problems; decompose numbers up to 10 in multiple ways; find the number that makes 10; and fluently add and subtract within 5.
  • Number and Operations in Base Ten: Compose and decompose numbers 11-19 into ten ones and additional ones to build early place-value understanding.
  • Measurement and Data: Describe measurable attributes such as length and weight, directly compare two objects on a shared attribute, and classify and sort objects into categories by count.
  • Geometry: Name and describe shapes in the environment, identify flat and solid shapes, analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, and compose simple shapes to form larger ones.
