Planning the Program
At the moment, the SCDSB scope and sequence does not have a Kindergarten specific resource.
A large focus of the Kindergarten curriculum is on the strong development of number. You can mimic the grade 1 scope and sequence where it makes sense to guide you until additional direction is provided.
Resources to teach and assess should involve those from the list of Common Resources that include:
Ontario Curriculum Teacher Supports
Knowledgehook Teacher Supports
What to Look For as found in support on the LKDSB Math Resource site
LKDSB newsletters
Utilizing the Curriculum
Utilizing the Curriculum
The kindergarten mathematics curriculum is new and will continue to be developed. Included in the online curriculum are Teacher Support Examples for each of the expectations.
The Kindergarten to Gr 3 mathematics continuum can demonstrate how a strong foundation, built in Kindergarten builds in each grade.
Mathematics Continuum New K-3 for 2026.pdfDevelopment of Mathematical Reasoning in Kindergarten
Development of Mathematical Reasoning in Kindergarten
Tier 1
Teachers in Kindergarten focus on the following important foundational skills in a variety of ways - whole class, small group, individual conversations - both formally and during play.
Solidifying Foundational Counting Skills (subitizing, pre-addition counting skills, counting from the larger number, skip counting)
Exploring Early Additive Thinking (Up Over 10, Near Doubles, and Decomposing Numbers)
Teachers are encouraged to collect data on a heat map to track key strategy understanding and use.
Tier 2
The focus of these groups should be spent solidifying and strengthening foundational counting with senior Kindergarten students who need additional support.
Knowledgehook Use in Kindergarten
Knowledgehook Use in Kindergarten
Knowledgehook is the LKDSB approved digital math tool.
In Kindergarten, we do not advise use of Knowledgehook for individual student use.
As a teacher, Knowledgehook helps with:
access to quality teaching supports that include math backgrounds, misconception charts, and intervention supports
Access to sample questions you could use for class discussion
