Math Curriculum

Kindergarten

Course Purpose:

Students will connect numbers to quantities, use numbers to represent and relate, and compose and decompose numbers as they develop number sense.  Students will use geometric ideas and spatial reasoning to describe their physical world.

Outcomes and Components:

M.K.6

Students will use two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes to describe objects and positions of objects in their world.
