Mathematical Practices: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.Common Core MathematicsKindergartenMathematical Practices
K.CC.1. Count to 100 by ones and by tens.Common Core MathematicsKindergartenCounting And CardinalityKnow Number Names And The Count Sequence
K.CC.4. Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.Common Core MathematicsKindergartenCounting And CardinalityCount To Tell The Number Of Objects
K.CC.5. Count to answer “”how many?”” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1?20, count out that many objects.Common Core MathematicsKindergartenCounting And CardinalityCount To Tell The Number Of Objects
K.CC.6. Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies.1Common Core MathematicsKindergartenCounting And CardinalityCompare Numbers
K.MD.3. Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count.3Common Core MathematicsKindergartenMeasurement And DataClassify Objects And Count The Number Of Objects In Each Category

1.2 Count, recognize, represent, name and order a numbers of objects (up to 30).CA MathematicsGrade Kindergarten01. Number Sense1.0 Students understand the relationship between numbers and quantities (i.e., that a set of objects has the same number of objects in different situations, regardless of its position or arrangement).
2. Different types of plants and animals inhabit the Earth.CA ScienceGrade Kindergarten02. Life Sciences
4.d. Compare and sort common objects based on one physical attribute (including color, shape, texture, size, weight).CA ScienceGrade Kindergarten04. Investigation and Experimentation4. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions & conducting careful investigations. As a basis for understanding this concept, and to address the content of the other strands, students will develop questions & perform investigations.
