Everyday Mathematics Learning Goals: What should my child know?

Everyday Mathematics Kindergarten Year-End Learning Goals

 

  • Verbally counts 20 or more objects in a random arrangement.
  • Performs interrupted verbal counting beyond 100.
  • Counts backward from 22 or higher.
  • Counts by 2s beyond 30.
  • Counts by 5s beyond 110.
  • Counts by 10s beyond 110.
  • Reads any number, 100 or less.
  • Writes any number, 100 or less.
  • Understands basic meanings of addition and subtraction in real-life situations, in children’s own number stories, in oral problems, with concrete objects, and on number lines.
  • Understands 2-digit numbers in terms of 10s and 1s.
  • Understands equivalent expressions as two or more different expressions of the same number. For example, 6 is the same as, or equivalent to 2+4, 5+1, and 7-1.
  • Recognizes many non computational uses of numbers through daily experiences. For example, children may count snacks and days until a special event; measure weight, length, weight, and elapsed time; experience certain reference frames such as clocks, calendars, temperatures, and ordinal numbers.
  • Estimates using language such as about how many, about how much, and about what cost.
  • Identifies and uses measuring tools for linear, weight, and volume measures.
  • Performs simple data collection and graphing.
  • Has experience with basic geometric shapes and symmetry concepts.
  • Recognizes and names basic plane and solid figures.
  • Knows the value of a penny, nickel, and dime; recognizes a quarter.
  • Estimates time on an analog hand to the using the hour hand.
