Curriculum

Children will learn to represent addition and subtraction using various methods including objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (such as claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, mathematical expressions, and equations.

Children will learn that zero represents the absence of quantity, understanding that it means "nothing" or "none."

Children will be able to write numbers from 0 to 20 and represent a corresponding number of objects with a written numeral 0-20, where the numeral 0 indicates a count of no objects.

Children will be able to learn number names and the count sequence. They will be able to count to 100 by ones and by tens.

Children will learn to associate a number of objects with written numerals from 0 to 5. With support, they will also recognize and write some numerals up to 10. Understanding the necessity of numbers can be highlighted by exploring everyday examples—consider why having five fingers is useful.

Children will learn to count up to ten and become familiar with number names and their sequence in counting.

Child understands the relationship between numbers and quantities.
Counts and answers "How many?" questions for approximately 10 objects.
Accurately counts as many as five objects in a scattered configuration.

Children will be able to count to ten.
Child knows number names and the count sequence.

Children will recall information from their own experiences or gather details from provided sources to answer questions, with help and guidance from adults. For example, a teacher might ask a class of 6-year-olds, "How do plants grow?" The children can use their personal observations from a classroom plant-growing activity or refer to specific pages in a science book. They could then organize their findings into answers, such as "Plants need soil, water, and sunlight to grow."

Children will be able to sort single-digit numbers into even and odd categories. Additionally, they will be able to identify even and odd numbers within two-digit numbers.
