Grade K
Grade K mathematics curriculum covering CA State Standards including operations, algebraic thinking, geometry, measurement, and data analysis.
Numbers & Operations
Master counting to 100, comparing numbers, understanding addition/subtraction within 10, and composing/decomposing numbers to build number sense.
Shapes & Measurement
Identify and describe 2D/3D shapes, understand positional words, compare measurable attributes, and classify objects by characteristics.
Problem Solving
Apply mathematical thinking through word problems, pattern recognition, data analysis, and hands-on activities aligned with CA State Standards.
Course Preview
Counting And Cardinality
- Know number names and the count sequence.
- 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.
Foundational Mathematical Practices:
- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
- Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- Model with mathematics.
- Use appropriate tools strategically.
- Attend to precision.
- Look for and make use of structure.
- Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

Highlights Of Kmind Math Curriculum:
- The curriculum is developed based on a spiral approach in which concepts will be introduced, revisited, elevated, expanded, and challenged throughout the entire curriculum.
- Combining the methods of Singapore Math (focus on the concrete-pictorial-abstract method) and Beast Academy (an interactive program that challenges students to think about math concepts in a deeper way) to provide students a well-balanced learning opportunity.
- Include math talk, math logic puzzles, growth-mindset, and real-life, scenario-based math activities for almost every session to bring the purpose and value of learning math to life.
- Using the “I do, We do, You do” modeling teaching strategy to support and motivate students in the most age-appropriate way while still challenging them enough.
