Common Core Math Standards - Kindergarten

MathScore aligns to the Common Core Math Standards for Kindergarten. The standards appear below along with the MathScore topics that match. If you click on a topic name, you will see sample problems at varying degrees of difficulty that MathScore generated. When students use our program, the difficulty of the problems will automatically adapt based on individual performance, resulting in not only true differentiated instruction, but a challenging game-like experience.

Counting and Cardinality

Know number names and the count sequence.
   1. Count to 100 by ones and by tens. (Counting to 100 )
   2. Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1). (Counting to 100 )
   3. Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
Count to tell the number of objects. (Counting Objects , Counting Objects 2 )
   4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
   a. When counting objects, say the number names in the standard order, pairing each object with one and only one number name and each number name with one and only one object.
   b. Understand that the last number name said tells the number of objects counted. The number of objects is the same regardless of their arrangement or the order in which they were counted.
   c. Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.
   5. Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects. (Counting Objects , Counting Objects 2 , Count Out Squares )
Compare numbers.
   6. Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.1 (Number Comparison To 10 )
   7. Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals. (Number Comparison To 10 )
    1 Include groups with up to ten objects.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.
   1. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings1, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
   2. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem. (Picture Problems )
   3. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
   4. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
   5. Fluently add and subtract within 5. (Add Within 5 , Subtract Within 5 )
    1 Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)

Number and Operations in Base Ten

Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value.
   1. Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones. (Understanding 11 to 19 )

Measurement and Data

Describe and compare measurable attributes.
   1. Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
   2. Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
   3. Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.1 (Basic Graphs )
    1 Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.

Geometry

Identify and describe shapes (squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, hexagons, cubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres). (Geometric Shapes )
   1. 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. (Geometric Shapes , Relative Positions )
   2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. (Geometric Shapes )
   3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”). (2D and 3D )
Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.
   4. 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 (e.g., having sides of equal length). (Analyze and Compare Shapes )
   5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
   6. Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?”
