Common Core: Kindergarten Math introduces young learners to foundational math concepts through engaging activities and interactive lessons.

Basic Concepts

Shapes and Spatial Sense

Discovering Shapes

Shapes are all around us! Circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles are just some of the shapes you see every day.

Learning Shape Names

Knowing the names of shapes helps you talk about what you see. Try to spot shapes in your classroom or at home.

Exploring with Shapes

You can build with blocks, draw pictures, or make art using different shapes. Shapes fit together in fun ways!

Describing Where Things Are

Spatial sense means understanding where things are. Use words like "next to," "above," or "under" to talk about objects.

Shape Hunt

  • Look for circles on clocks or wheels.
  • Find squares in windows or tiles.

Examples

  • Finding a triangle in a slice of pizza.

  • Putting a toy under the table.
