KINDERGARTEN

The following goals are at the core of our Kindergarten curriculum. Please note that these are important goals, but they are not the only concepts to which students will be exposed at this grade level. Students will have a rich curriculum, and their experiences in math will introduce them to many new concepts that will deepen over time.

Counting and Cardinality

  • Know number names and the count sequence

  • Count to tell the number of objects

  • Compare numbers

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

  • Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

Number and Operations in Base Ten

  • Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value.

Measurement and Data

  • Describe and compare measurable attributes.

  • Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.

Geometry

  • Identify and describe shapes.

  • Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.

FIRST GRADE

The following goals are at the core of our Grade 1 curriculum. Please note that these are important goals, but they are not the only concepts to which students will be exposed at this grade level. Students will have a rich curriculum, and their experiences in math will introduce them to many new concepts that will deepen over time.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

  • Represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction.

  • Understand and apply properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.

  • Add and subtract within 20.

  • Work with addition and subtraction equations.

Number and Operations in Base Ten

  • Extend the counting sequence.

  • Understand place value.

  • Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Measurement and Data

  • Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.

  • Tell and write time.

  • Represent and interpret data.

Geometry

  • Reason with shapes and their attributes.
