Learning Expectations
Kindergarten Math Expectations
Kindergarten is a crucial and exciting time for introducing children to mathematical concepts. At this stage, students will learn counting, differentiating shapes, and other activities that will give them a strong math foundation. During this formative stage, it's important for the students to have fun while learning and to be engaged in activities that will hold their interest.

Data Analysis Expectation

Activity

1. Displays answers to simple questions involving two categories or choices using concrete materials or pictures on a graph or chart (for example, in a class, number of boys and girls, students with buttons and students with no buttons).

Add an activity

2. Interprets data exhibited in concrete or pictorial graphs.

Add an activity

3. Uses concrete materials, pictures, or graphs to show range and mode (for example, on a human, block, or picture graph showing number of brother and sisters, range is from zero to highest number of siblings; mode is number of siblings most common in class).

Add an activity

4. Collects, displays data, and makes generalizations (for example, determines number of pockets on 5 children; predicts how many 10 students or the whole class will have).

Add an activity

5. Knows the likelihood of a given situation (for example, Could a lion come visit you? Will we have school tomorrow? Will it rain today?).

Add an activity

6. Participates in games or activities dependent upon chance (for example, using spinners or number cubes).

Add an activity

7. Knows if a given event is more likely, equally likely, or less likely to occur (for example, chicken nuggets or pizza for lunch in the cafeteria).

Add an activity

8. Displays the answer to a simple class question with two categories using concrete materials, a pictograph, or chart (for example, hot or cold; wings or no wings).

Add an activity

9. Determines through class discussions questions for a simple two-choice survey so that the collected information will answer the questions.
