Math Kindergarten
Trimester I
Curriculum Overview
Students will be involved into engaged activities throughout the year of kindergarten. They will practice the counting sequence: order, count, and write up to ten objects to answer how many? Students use their understanding of numbers and matching numbers with objects to answer questions about a variety of objects, pictures, and drawings.
Children will go beyond the use of superficial shape labels to recognizing and specifying their attributes. They will explore two-dimensional (circle, square, triangle, rectangle), and three-dimensional shapes (cube, cone, cylinder, and sphere). The big idea is to focus student’s attention on the attributes of a flat or solid shape instead of trusting how it looks. Students begin to use position words (above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to) when referring to and moving shapes. Students learn to use their words to distinguish between examples and non-examples of flat and solid shapes.
