Counting, shapes and so much sorting
Kindergarten math builds the foundation for everything that comes next. Kids count to 100 by ones and tens, count groups of objects up to 20 and write numbers from 0 to 20. They compare groups to tell which has more or fewer, and they add and subtract within 10 using objects and fingers. They name flat and solid shapes like circles, triangles, cubes and cones, and they compare things by size: small, smaller, smallest. They also sort objects into groups and count each group. The click comes when a child glances at five dots and just knows it is five without counting!
Kindergarten math should be hands-on, playful and full of talk. These moves do all three.
Flash a dot card for two seconds and ask, "How many?" Kids shout the number without counting. Quick looks at dot patterns, called subitizing, build number sense faster than counting one by one.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
Try it withSubitize 1 to 10 Flash CardsFlash CardsOpen it →Play a shapes song and have kids draw each shape in the air as they hear it. Then go on a shape hunt around the room. Singing gives kids the names, and hunting shows them shapes are everywhere.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).
Try it withShapes SongSongsOpen it →Dump a bin of buttons or toys and let kids sort them any way they like: color, size or shape. Then count each group and ask which has more. Sorting is a math skill all by itself, and it leads naturally into counting and comparing.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.

By the end of kindergarten, kids should count to 100 by ones and tens, count objects to 20, write numbers 0 to 20, add and subtract within 10, compare numbers and name basic shapes.
Count everything: stairs, snacks, toys in the bath. Ask "Which pile has more?" and play simple board games with dice. Everyday math talk builds strong number sense.
Subitizing is seeing a small group and knowing how many without counting, like the dots on a die. It is an important early math skill that helps kids add and subtract later.
Not yet. Kindergarteners should add and subtract within 5 quickly, but the focus is understanding. Most fact practice comes in 1st and 2nd grade.
