Math
Discover Newfoundland's Kindergarten math curriculum, focusing on early numeracy skills. Learn counting, pattern recognition, and shape identification to build a strong foundation for future math learning.

Engage in daily counting activities, point out patterns and shapes in the environment, use household items for sorting games, and incorporate math language into everyday conversations.
