South Carolina Kindergarten Math: What Students Learn

South Carolina Kindergarten math follows the SC College Career Ready Standards, which lay the groundwork for all future math learning. Students develop skills across five key areas: counting and cardinality, operations and algebraic thinking, number sense in base ten, measurement, and geometry.

Counting and Cardinality

Kindergarteners learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, count forward from any given number, and write numerals from 0 to 20. A major focus is understanding that numbers represent quantities — connecting counting to cardinality so students know that the last number counted tells how many objects are in a group.

  • Count to 100 by ones and by tens
  • Count forward from a given number
  • Write numbers 0–20 and match them to quantities
  • Identify greater than, less than, or equal to between two groups
  • Compare written numerals between 1 and 10

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Students begin addition and subtraction using objects, fingers, drawings, and equations. They solve word problems, decompose numbers up to 10, find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number, and build fluency adding and subtracting within 5.

  • Represent addition and subtraction with objects and drawings
  • Add and subtract within 10 using word problems
  • Decompose numbers up to 10 in more than one way
  • Find the missing number that makes 10
  • Fluently add and subtract within 5

Numbers and Base Ten

Students compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19, understanding them as ten ones plus some extra ones. This is the foundation for place value work in later grades.

Measurement and Data

Kindergarteners describe measurable attributes like length and weight, directly compare two objects to find which has more or less of an attribute, and classify and count objects in categories.

Geometry

Students name and describe shapes in their environment, identify flat (two-dimensional) and solid (three-dimensional) shapes, and analyze similarities and differences between shapes. They also build and draw shapes and compose simple shapes to form larger ones.

  • Name shapes in different sizes and orientations
  • Identify 2D and 3D shapes
  • Compare shapes using informal language
  • Build and draw shapes
  • Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes
