Rhode Island Kindergarten Math: What Students Learn

Kindergarten math in Rhode Island covers a wide range of foundational skills. Students 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 and answer "how many?" questions about groups of up to 20 objects. These early counting skills set the stage for everything that follows in elementary math.

Comparing Numbers and Early Operations

Rhode Island Kindergarten students compare groups of objects to determine which has more or fewer, and they compare written numerals between 1 and 10. They begin addition and subtraction by using objects, fingers, drawings, and verbal explanations. Students solve word problems and add and subtract within 10, decompose numbers into pairs, and find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number. By the end of Kindergarten, students can fluently add and subtract within 5.

Place Value Foundations

Students compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some additional ones. This early understanding of tens and ones prepares students for place value concepts in 1st and 2nd grade math.

Measurement and Data

Kindergarteners describe measurable attributes of objects such as length and weight. They directly compare two objects using a common measurable attribute to determine which has more or less of that attribute. Students also classify objects into categories, count the objects in each category, and sort categories by count.

Geometry: Shapes and Spatial Thinking

Rhode Island Kindergarten math includes a strong geometry unit. Students:

  • Identify and name shapes in the environment and describe their positions
  • Name shapes correctly regardless of size or orientation
  • Distinguish between two-dimensional (flat) and three-dimensional (solid) shapes
  • Analyze and compare shapes using informal language
  • Build and draw shapes from components
  • Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes
