New Mexico Kindergarten Math Topics
New Mexico Kindergarten math covers a wide range of foundational skills that set students up for success in later grades. All topics align to the New Mexico Mathematics Standards, the same standards taught in NM classrooms. StudyPug breaks each topic into short, easy-to-follow video lessons with practice problems so every Kindergarten student can keep up with class.
Counting and Number Sense
Kindergarteners in New Mexico learn to count to 100 by ones and by tens, count forward from any given number, and write numbers from 0 to 20. Students also connect counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number said when counting tells you 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
- Count forward from a given number
- Write numbers from 0 to 20
- Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities
- Answer "how many?" questions about up to 20 objects
Comparing Numbers
New Mexico Kindergarten students learn to identify whether one group of objects is greater than, less than, or equal to another group. They also compare two written numerals between 1 and 10. These skills build the number sense needed for addition and subtraction in later grades.
Addition and Subtraction
Kindergarteners represent addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations. They solve word problems, add and subtract within 10, decompose numbers up to 10 in multiple ways, and find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number. Students also develop fluency adding and subtracting within 5.
- Represent addition and subtraction in multiple ways
- Solve addition and subtraction word problems within 10
- Decompose numbers into pairs in more than one way
- Find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number
- Fluently add and subtract within 5
Place Value: Numbers 11–19
Students compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 as ten ones and some additional ones. This foundational understanding of tens and ones prepares New Mexico students for first-grade place value work.
Measurement and Data
Kindergarteners describe measurable attributes of objects such as length and weight. They directly compare two objects using a common attribute to determine which has more or less. Students also classify objects into categories, count objects in each category, and sort categories by count.
Geometry and Shapes
New Mexico Kindergarten students learn to name shapes in their environment, describe relative positions of objects, and correctly identify shapes regardless of size or orientation. They distinguish between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes, analyze and compare shapes using informal language, and build and draw shapes from components.
- Name shapes in the environment and describe positions
- Identify 2D (flat) and 3D (solid) shapes
- Compare shapes by size, parts, and attributes
- Build shapes from components and draw shapes
- Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes
