The standards below are what kindergarten students are expected to have mastered by the end of the school year.
Counting and Cardinality
I Can:
*Count to 100 by 1's and 10's *Count forward beginning from a given number *Write numbers 0-20 *Represent a number of objects with a written numeral (0-20) *When counting objects, say the number name, pairing the object with one and only one number name. *Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. *Count to answer "How many?" questions about as many as 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 objects in a scattered configuration. *Identify whether objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
*Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds, (e.g. claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations. *Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10. *Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, (e.g. 5=2+3 and 5=4+1) *For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number. *Fluently add and subtract within 5.
Measurement and Data
*Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. *Directly compare two objects with a measureable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. (e.g. directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.) *Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.
Number Operations and Base Ten
*Compose and decompose numbers from 11-19 into ten ones and some further ones.
Geometry
*Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. *Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. *Identify shapes as 2-dimensional("flat"), or 3-dimensional ("solid"). *Analyze and compare two and three dimensional shapes in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g. number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes. *Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g. sticks and clay balls), and drawing shapes. *Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. (e.g."Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?")
