Virginia Kindergarten Math: What Students Learn
Kindergarten math in Virginia covers five key areas: counting and cardinality, operations (addition and subtraction), measurement, geometry, and number sense. Every topic on StudyPug aligns directly to the Virginia Mathematics Standards of Learning so your child is always working on what their teacher is covering in class.
Counting and Number Sense
Students learn to count to 100 by ones and tens, write numbers from 0 to 20, and understand what numbers represent. They compare groups of objects to determine which is greater, less than, or equal. These skills form the backbone of all future math learning.
- Count to 100 by ones and by tens
- Write numbers from 0 to 20
- Compare two numbers between 1 and 10
- Understand cardinality — connecting counting to quantity
Addition and Subtraction
Virginia Kindergarten students begin adding and subtracting using objects, drawings, fingers, and equations. They solve word problems and work toward fluency adding and subtracting within 5, while also exploring how numbers up to 10 can be broken apart and put together in different ways.
- Add and subtract within 10
- Fluently add and subtract within 5
- Decompose numbers into pairs in more than one way
- Find the number that makes 10 when added to a given number (1–9)
Measurement and Data
Students describe measurable attributes like length and weight, directly compare two objects, and sort objects into categories by shared characteristics. These early data skills support critical thinking across all subjects.
Geometry and Shapes
Kindergartners identify, name, and describe 2D and 3D shapes regardless of size or orientation. They build and draw shapes, analyze similarities and differences, and compose simple shapes to form larger ones — laying the groundwork for geometry in later grades.
- Name shapes regardless of size or orientation
- Identify flat (2D) and solid (3D) shapes
- Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes
- Describe positions of objects in the environment
How StudyPug Supports Virginia Kindergarten Math
StudyPug provides video lessons and practice problems for every Kindergarten math topic in the Virginia SOL curriculum. Students can watch a short lesson, pause and replay, then try practice problems right away. Parents and teachers can track progress and revisit any topic at any time.
