Kindergarten

Kindergarten mathematicians bring a natural curiosity to their study of numbers and shapes. Through play and continuous exploration of counting, sorting, combining, and breaking apart sets of various items, kindergarten mathematicians develop their growing number sense. They learn to visualize numbers with the use of five and ten frames in ways that build toward foundational concepts of more than, less than, pairs that add to 10, as well as odd and even numbers. Kindergarten mathematicians are always searching for and creating patterns with numbers, shapes, movements, and songs. Measurement, geometry, addition, subtraction, graphing, and problem-solving are also explored throughout the year in various projects that combine literacy, art, and engineering.
