Cherokee County Schools
Mathematics Course of Study
Kindergarten
During the kindergarten year, students learn to listen, share, cooperate, use materials responsibly, and follow directions in a formal school setting. Mathematics is introduced at this level through play-based opportunities that develop and deepen students’ conceptual understanding. Connections are beginning to be made between the informal knowledge of mathematics and the formal system of numerical expressions. To foster these connections, the kindergarten environment should provide a variety of concrete learning experiences.
The physical arrangement of the kindergarten classroom should allow for exploration, for manipulation of objects, and for active movement. Manipulative materials enable students to count, engage in active learning, and broaden simple mathematical concepts. Students benefit from planned, thought-provoking activities that allow for active participation and provide a rich introduction to mathematical language.
In Kindergarten, mathematical concepts include recognizing patterns and shapes, demonstrating one-to-one correspondence, making comparisons, using classification skills, and ordering sets of objects. By the end of Kindergarten, students are able to recognize numbers and basic shapes, replicate simple patterns, and communicate using mathematical terms.
Please use this document to plan mathematics lessons. The content standards define what students should know and be able to do at the conclusion of the course or grade. The order in which standards are listed within a course or grade is not intended to convey a sequence for instruction. Each standard is aligned with the appropriate student assessment and correlated with textbooks adopted by Cherokee County Schools. Bullets denote content that is related to the standards and required for instruction. Examples clarify certain components of content standards or bullets and are not exhaustive. Technology is integrated throughout the document.
