Kindergarten Scope and Sequence – Go Math!

Summary of the Year Overview

In Kindergarten, instructional time should focus on two critical areas: (1) representing and comparing COUNTING AND CARDINALITY
whole numbers, initially with sets of objects; (2) describing shapes and space. More learning time in Know number names and the count sequence.
Kindergarten should be devoted to number than to other topics. Count to tell the number of objects.
Compare numbers.
OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING
Understand addition as putting together and
adding to, and understand subtraction as taking
apart and taking from.
NUMBER AND OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN
Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for
place value.
MEASUREMENT AND DATA
Describe and compare measurable attributes.
Classify objects and count the number of objects
in categories.
GEOMETRY
Identify and describe shapes.
Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.

Year-at-a-Glance STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE:

Semester 1: 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in
COUNTING AND CARDINALITY (*0-10) solving them.
Know number names and the count sequence. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

shared writing.
• Literacy – Create a class subtraction story based on the book, Who
Stole the Cookie from the Cookie Jar?
• Movement – Use student bodies to act out and solve number
stories.
• Movement – Play the “Number Sentence Shuffle.” On large index
cards create the pieces to a number sentence (i.e. 3+2=5). Invite
five students to the front of the room and have each student hold
one piece of the number sentence. The students work as a team to
order the pieces in a way that will make a correct number sentence.
The goal is to “shuffle” the sentence as many ways as possible so it
still reads true. (i.e. 2+3=5, 3+2=5, 5=2+3, 5=3+2).
• Movement – Play subtraction bowling. Students take turns bowling
while the remainder of the class records the number sentence for
each bowler’s turn.
• Movement – Play the “Tens Dance.” Create two sets of numbers 0-
10. Split the class in half and have the students stand in two lines
facing one another (with space in between the lines). Randomly
distribute one set of the number cards to one line and the second
set to the other line. Students take turns finding their “dance
partners” by finding the person holding the number that makes a
total of ten when combined with their own number.
• Play/Fine Motor – Students play “The Train Game” in
partnerships. For addition only, play “The Growing Train.” Each
partner creates a train of five cubes to start. Partners take turns
rolling and add that many cubes to their trains. For subtraction
only, play “The Disappearing Train.” Each partner creates a train
of 20 cubes to start. Partners take turns rolling and take away that
many cubes from their trains. To play with addition and subtraction

• Literacy – Read stories that focus on teen numbers and how

they are composed (i.e. Let’s Count Critters).
• Calendar – Count the days of school; looking at place value.
• Fine Motor – Build teen numbers beginning with a cube
tower of ten and then adding some ones, break apart cube
towers containing 11-19 cubes by separating the group of ten
and ones.
• Art/Social Studies – Students draw or paint a picture
representing a teen number by using two colors; one color
represents the group of ten and the other represents the
additional ones. (i.e. For Valentine’s Day, a student might
draw 10 hearts using red and 4 hearts using yellow to
represent the number 14. 10 + 4 = 14)
• Movement – Students work in partnerships to create teen
numbers with their fingers (one student acts as the “10” and
the other student acts as the “ones”).
• Movement/Play – Students can play “I Have, Who Has?”
teen numbers.
• Play – Students play the “Teen Number Game” in
partnerships. Create double ten-frame mats and teen
number dice. Each partnership receives 2 double ten-frame
mats, one teen die, tiles, and 10 pop sticks (“scoring sticks”).
Each partner rolls the die and builds the teen number rolled
on his/her mat. The partner with the greater teen number
takes a scoring stick. As students realize that for each teen
number they must fill-in a whole ten frame first, students can
use a stamper to mark the first ten-frame so that it is
permanently full.
• Play – Students can play “Teen Number Memory” in
partnerships by matching the numeral to its composition
using the double ten-frame.

• Literacy/Social Studies/Art – To practice the teen numbers
(and review the composition of teen numbers) students create
illustrations to go along with Ten Apples Up On Top.
Students draw themselves with one hand straight out. Each
student chooses a teen number for the number of apples in
his/her illustration. Using a dot marker, each student makes 10
apples on top of his/her head and the remaining apples on
his/her hand. Students write the sentence, “I have ___ apples
up on top” to accompany the picture. (Read Across America)
• Social Studies – Count the number of U.S. presidents using
photos. (President’s Day)
• Science – During the Balls and Ramps science unit, students
experiment with bouncing balls by counting and recording how
many times various balls bounce when dropped from waist
height.
• Fine Motor – Students find a “mystery picture” in a 50 or 100
grid by coloring the numbers listed.
• Play – Students play “Rolling for 50” in partnerships. Each
partnership will need a 1-50 number grid, a die, and two game
pieces. Each partner rolls, moves his/her piece that many
spaces along the grid, and says the name of the number he/she
lands on.
• Play/Fine Motor – Teacher creates number grid puzzles by
cutting up hundred grids copied on card stock. Students can
complete the number grid puzzles independently or with a
partner.
• Play – Students play “Target Number” as a whole class.

Teacher decides what the class will practice counting during the
game. For instance, the class might practice counting from 25-
40. The final number (in this case – 40) would be the target
number. The class stands in a circle and goes around counting
from 25-40. The student that counts “40” would sit down
because it is the target number. The next student would begin
again at 25. Play until only one student is left standing. Target
Number can also be played with counting by tens.
