Pennsylvania Kindergarten Math: What Your Child Will Learn
Kindergarten math in Pennsylvania lays the groundwork for everything that comes next. Guided by Pennsylvania Core Standards Math, Kindergarteners develop number sense, learn to count, compare quantities, and take their first steps into addition and subtraction. StudyPug covers every one of these topics with short video lessons and practice problems your child can use at home.
Counting and Number Sense
Pennsylvania Kindergarteners learn to count to 100 by ones and by tens, count forward from any given number, and write numerals from 0 to 20. They connect counting to cardinality — understanding that the last number counted 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
- Write numbers from 0 to 20
- Understand counting and cardinality
- Answer "how many?" questions about groups of up to 20 objects
Comparing Numbers and Groups
Students learn to identify whether one group of objects is greater than, less than, or equal to another. They also compare two written numerals between 1 and 10. These skills build the number reasoning your child will use throughout elementary school.
Addition and Subtraction
Kindergarten introduces addition and subtraction through objects, fingers, drawings, and simple equations. Students solve word problems, add and subtract within 10, decompose numbers into pairs, and fluently add and subtract within 5. StudyPug has a video lesson and practice set for every one of these standards.
- Represent addition and subtraction with objects and drawings
- Solve addition and subtraction word problems within 10
- 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
Measurement and Data
Kindergarteners in Pennsylvania describe measurable attributes like length and weight, directly compare two objects, and classify objects into categories by count. These early data and measurement skills connect math to the real world in ways young learners can see and touch.
Geometry and Shapes
Students learn to name and describe shapes, identify whether shapes are two-dimensional or three-dimensional, and analyze similarities and differences between shapes. They also build and draw shapes, and compose simple shapes to form larger ones. StudyPug covers every geometry standard in the Pennsylvania Kindergarten curriculum.
- Name shapes regardless of size or orientation
- Identify 2D and 3D shapes
- Analyze and compare shapes using informal language
- Build and draw shapes from components
- Compose simple shapes into larger shapes
