By the end of kindergarten, students understand the consistency of small numbers, quantities and simple shapes in their everyday environment. They count, compare, describe and sort objects, and develop a sense about properties and patterns. Students use estimation strategies in computation and problem solving that involve numbers that use the ones and tens places.
Students identify common geometric objects in their environment and describe their features.
Decide about the approach, materials and strategies to use Use tools and strategies such as manipulatives or sketches to model problems Students solve problems in reasonable ways and justify reasoning.
