| Children are provided meaningful situations
in which they can solve problems through the use of manipulative
materials, interesting activities, and real-life scenarios.
Manipulative materials provide children with props to
explore mathematical concepts. |
3 Year
Olds
Problem Solving: Children are
introduced to sorting and classifying, sequencing, patterning,
seriating, estimating and predicting, measurement (bigger,
smaller, more, and less), counting, and number recognition.
 4 Year Olds
Problem Solving: Children learn
to sort and classify by one or more attributes. They
learn sequencing, patterning, seriating, comparing,
measuring (weight, volume, length) with nonstandard
measures, creation and meaning of simple graphs, and
predicting outcomes.
Number Concepts: Students are introduced
to addition and subtraction, counting by rote, numeral
recognition, number quantity, one to one correspondence
(1-20).
Spatial Relationships: Children begin
to understand and use common positional words (above,
below, under, beside, behind.)

 Kindergarten
Problem Solving: Kindergarteners
are taught to sort and classify by multiple attributes,
and learn expanded sequencing, seriating, patterning, estimating,
predicting, graphing, weighing (more, less, equal).
Number Concepts: Children learn to recognize
+ and – symbols, count to 100 by ones and tens,
and number writing. They learn quantity of numbers
up to 8, one to one correspondence (1-50) and coins
and values of pennies, nickels, and dimes. They are
taught to recognize the purpose of a clock and the
function of the hour and minute hands. They recognize
a calendar and understand days, weeks, and months.
Spatial Relationships: Children relate
to one- and two-dimensional shapes, and positional words
(inside, outside, behind, in front of, and on).
