Math
Discover Saskatchewan's Kindergarten math curriculum, focusing on number sense, patterns, and basic geometry. Build a strong foundation for future math learning through engaging activities and clear learning pathways.
Children entering Kindergarten should have basic counting skills, recognize some numbers, and understand simple concepts like more/less. However, the curriculum is designed to meet various skill levels.
Engage in everyday math activities like counting objects, identifying shapes in the environment, and creating simple patterns. Use games and songs to make learning fun and interactive.
Kindergarten math assessment is primarily observation-based. Teachers monitor progress through daily activities and interactions, focusing on understanding and skill development rather than formal testing.
Key concepts include counting to 10, recognizing numbers and quantities, understanding basic patterns, comparing objects, and exploring simple geometric shapes and 3-D objects.
The curriculum builds a strong foundation in number sense, pattern recognition, and basic geometry. These skills directly support the more advanced concepts introduced in Grade 1 math.
