In kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing, relating, andoperating on whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; and (2) describing shapes and space. Morelearning time in kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics.
(1) Students use numbers, including written numerals, to represent quantities and to solvequantitative problems, such as counting objects in a set; counting out a given number ofobjects; comparing sets or numerals; and modeling simple joining and separating situationswith sets of objects, or eventually with equations such as 5 + 2 = 7 and 7 – 2 = 5.(Kindergarten students should see addition and subtraction equations, and student writing ofequations in kindergarten is encouraged, but it is not required.) Students choose, combine,and apply effective strategies for answering quantitative questions, including quicklyrecognizing the cardinalities of small sets of objects, counting and producing sets of givensizes, counting the number of objects in combined sets, or counting the number of objectsthat remain in a set after some are taken away.
(2) Students describe their physical world using geometric ideas (e.g., shape, orientation, spatialrelations) and vocabulary. They identify, name, and describe basic two-dimensional shapes,such as squares, triangles, circles, rectangles, and hexagons, presented in a variety of ways(e.g., with different sizes and orientations), as well as three-dimensional shapes such ascubes, cones, cylinders, and spheres. They use basic shapes and spatial reasoning to modelobjects in their environment and to construct more complex shapes.The Standards for Mathematical Practice complement the content standards so that students increasinglyengage with the subject matter as they grow in mathematical maturity and expertise throughout theelementary, middle, and high school years.
