Math

Welcome to //Go Math!//

Mathematics is about numbers, shapes and patterns. This includes measuring, discovering similarities and differences, problem solving and counting -- Kindergarteners L-O-V-E counting things!! We believe that children who are "mathed with," learn math. The //Go Math// program incorporates 21st Century Learning Skills, allows teachers to differentiate instruction and aligns to the Common Core State Standards.

The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in Kindergarten are: 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.

Measure 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.
