Description:
Kindergarten Mathematics explores fundamental concepts of numbers, helping students to make connections between concrete objects and numbers. For the numbers 1-20, students learn to recognize word forms, identify and write numerical values, and compare numbers using symbols (<, >, =). Students master counting to 100 and skip counting by tens. Students learn that addition is the joining of numbers, and subtraction is the separation of numbers. The course teaches students addition and subtraction to 10 using models, pictures, number bonds, and number lines. Other concepts covered in this course include shapes and their attributes, measurements, data collection and sorting, picture graphs, and financial literacy. Throughout the course, students get hands-on experience and practice counting with manipulatives, number lines, and charts. Colorful, clear, and engaging visuals are used throughout the course to enhance student learning.
