Georgia State Standards for Mathematics: Kindergarten

GA.MKN. NUMBER AND OPERATIONS: Students will correctly represent the number and order of objects using numbers and understand them.

MKN1. Students will connect numerals to the quantities they represent.

MKN1.a. Count a number of objects up to 30.

MKN1.b. Produce models for number words through ten.

MKN1.c. Write numerals through 20 to label sets.

MKN1.d. Sequence and identify using ordinal numbers (1st-10th).

MKN1.e. Compare two or more sets of objects (1-10) and identify which set is equal to, more than, or less than the other.

MKN1.f. Estimate quantities using five and ten as a benchmark. (e.g. 9 is one five and four more. It is closer to 10, which can be represented as one ten or two fives, than it is to five.)

MKN1.g. Use informal strategies to share objects equally (divide) between two to three people or sets.

MKN1.h. Identify coins by name and value (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter).

MKN1.i. Count out pennies to buy items that together cost less than 30 cents.

MKN1.j. Make fair trades using combinations involving pennies and nickels and pennies and dimes.

MKN2. Students will use representations to model addition and subtraction.

MKN2.a. Use counting strategies to find out how many items are in two sets when they are combined, separated, or compared.

MKN2.b. Build number combinations up to 10 (e.g., 4 and 1, 2 and 3, 3 and 2, 4 and 1 for five) and for doubles to 10 (3 and 3 for six).

MKN2.c. Use objects, pictures, numbers, or words to create, solve and explain story problems (combining, separating, or comparing) for two numbers that are each less than 10.

GA.MKM. MEASUREMENT: Students will explore quantitative situations involving, length, capacity, weight, and height by direct comparison. Students will explore time through calendars and schedules.

MKM1. Students will group objects according to common properties such as longer/shorter, more/less, taller/shorter, and heavier/lighter.

MKM1.a. Compare and order objects on the basis of length.

MKM1.b. Compare and order objects on the basis of capacity.

MKM1.c. Compare and order objects on the basis of height.

MKM1.d. Compare and order objects on the basis of weight.

MKM2. Students will understand the measurement of calendar time.

MKM2.a. Know the names of the days of the week, as well as understand yesterday, today and tomorrow.

MKM2.b. Know the months of the year.

MKM2.c. Know the four seasons.

MKM3. Students will understand time as it relates to a daily schedule.

MKM3.a. Order daily events.

MKM3.b. Tell the time when daily events occur, such as morning, afternoon, and evening.

MKM3.c. Know the name of the day of the week when weekly events occur in class

GA.MKG. GEOMETRY: Students will recognize and name basic geometric shapes and spatial relationships.

MKG1. Students will correctly name simple two and three-dimensional figures, and recognize them in the environment.

MKG1.a. Recognize and name the following basic two-dimensional figures: triangles, quadrilaterals (rectangles, squares) and circles.

MKG1.b. Recognize and name the following three-dimensional figures: spheres and cubes.

MKG1.c. Observe concrete objects in the environment and represent the objects using basic shapes.

MKG1.d. Combine basic figures to form other basic and complex figures into basic figures; decompose basic and complex figures into basic figures.

MKG1.e. Compare geometric shapes and identify similarities and differences of the following two and three-dimensional shapes: triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, spheres, and cubes.

MKG2. Students will understand basic spatial relationships.

MKG2.a. Identify when an object is beside another object, above another object, or below another object.

MKG2.b. Identify when an object is in front of another object, behind another object, inside another object, or outside it.

MKG3. Students will identify, create, extend, and transfer patterns from one representation to another using actions, objects, and geometric shapes.

MKG3.a. Identify missing elements within a given pattern.

MKG3.b. Extend a given pattern and recognize similarities in different patterns.

MKG3.c. Create a pattern in a different context with attributes similar to a given pattern.

GA.MKD. DATA ANALYSIS AND PROBABILITY: Students will pose questions and gather data about themselves and their surroundings.

MKD1. Students will pose information questions, collect data, organize, and display results using objects, pictures, and picture graphs.

GA.MKP. PROCESS STANDARDS

MKP1. Students will solve problems (using appropriate technology).

MKP1.a. Build new mathematical knowledge through problem solving.

MKP1.b. Solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts.

MKP1.c. Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems.

MKP1.d. Monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving.

MKP2. Students will reason and evaluate mathematical arguments.

MKP2.a. Recognize reasoning and proof as fundamental aspects of mathematics.

MKP2.b. Make and investigate mathematical conjectures.

MKP2.c. Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs.

MKP2.d. Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof.

MKP3. Students will communicate mathematically.
