Kindergarten Math Resources for families

Can your kindergartner add and subtract?

¿Puede tu niño de kínder sumar y restar?

Unit 5: Contextual sums and minuends to 5

Model and solve joining (addition) and separating (subtraction) word problems

Place 3, 4, or 5 pennies in a cup. Shake the cup, and then pour the pennies out. Write an addition sentence to match the number of heads and tails. For example, if one penny lands heads up and three pennies land tails up, the matching number sentence is 4 = 1+3.
After pouring the pennies out, you can also encourage your child to write a take apart subtraction sentence to match the number of heads and tails that appear. For example, if 2 pennies land heads up and 3 pennies land tails up, your child could write 5 – 3 = 2 or 5 – 2 = 3. Remind your child that a take apart story is different from a take away story because in a take apart story, they don’t remove any of the parts.

Unit 6: Data Analysis with numbers up to 20

Collect, sort, and organize data to create graphs

Help your child think of questions to ask family members, such as: What is your favorite color? What is your favorite TV show Have your child collect the data and show the results in a method of his or her choosing, such as a picture or real graph.
Cut out 20 paper squares. Color 10 squares red and 10 blue. Have your child look for objects in your house that are red and others that are blue. Each time she/he finds something that is red or blue, you place that color square on the table in a row. At the end of the game, count how many of each color were found. Which color has more squares?
