Kindergarten math provides the foundation for all math to follow this grade level. Like building a house, a solid foundation is essential! Foundational skills are explained in the below attachments in addition to a set of skills student should know and be able to demonstrate independently by the end of the school year. Acquiring a conceptual understanding of numbers, one-to-one correspondence, counting up, understanding the language of math, beginning factions (parts to the whole), and geometry make up the kindergarten math units.

Math fluency standards, defined as accuracy and speed, begin in kindergarten. Students should be able to add and subtract within fives, (ie 5 + 5 = 10 and 10 - 5 = 5). Memorizing basic facts is essential to math success! As concepts and skills increase over time, the short term memory needs its power to for conceptual practice of new skill. If all the brain power is spend on recalling basic facts, it cannot complete complex tasks. It is that simple!
