Kindergarten Math Curriculum
In kindergarten, students learn how to count, sort, categorize, measure, and identify patterns— all skills that adults use every day! Whether you’re counting money, sorting laundry, or measuring ingredients, you can thank your kindergarten math teacher for showing you how.
Kindergarten math is an important first step in helping students build a strong foundation in numbers, counting, and problem-solving. At this stage, children explore concepts like recognizing and comparing numbers, adding and subtracting within ten, and discovering patterns and shapes. Mastering these skills early on sets them up for success for more advanced math concepts and problem-solving.
Plus, Miacademy makes learning kindergarten math online easy! With interactive lessons, quizzes, and hands-on activities, kids build number sense and practice other essential math skills while having a blast!
