Nebraska kindergarten math standards

Every kindergarten math standard in the Nebraska’s College and Career Ready Standards for Mathematics 2022, in Nebraska's order, with the Lux lessons that teach it.

Counting and Cardinality

K.N.1.a
Without counting, recognize and verbally label arrangements for briefly shown collections up to 10 (e.g., “I saw 5.” “How did you know?” “I saw 3 and 2, that is 5.”
Taught inCounting a messy group Counting rows to 20 Count out just enough Don't skip a numberand 1 more
K.N.2.a
Use one-to-one correspondence when counting objects to show the relationship between numbers and quantities and understand the last number counted is a direct representation of the total objects in a given set.
Taught inTouch and count The last number tells how many Moved, but still the same Counting a messy groupand 3 more
K.N.2.b
Understand that each successive number name refers to a quantity that is one larger.
Taught inOne more each time
K.N.2.c
Count out the number of objects given a number from 1 to 20.
Taught inCounting a messy group Counting rows to 20 Count out just enough Don't skip a number
K.N.2.d
Count up to 20 objects arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, and count up to 10 objects in a scattered configuration.
Taught inCounting a messy group Counting rows to 20 Count out just enough Don't skip a number
K.N.2.e
Count verbally forward and backward from any given number within 20.
Taught inCounting by tens to 100 Count on from any number After 29 comes 30 Counting back
K.N.2.f
Count verbally in sequential order by ones and by tens to 100, making accurate decade transitions (e.g., 89 to 90). K.N.2.g Write and name numbers 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0 to 20.
Taught inCounting a messy group Counting rows to 20 Counting by tens to 100 Count on from any numberand 2 more
K.N.2.h
Compare the number of objects in two groups, up to 20, using the words fewer than, more than, the same as.
Taught inMatch them to compare Equal to Bigger things are not more

Number and Operations in Base Ten

K.N.3.a
Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into a group of ten ones and some more ones using a model, drawing, or equation.
Taught inTen and some more The 1 in 16 means ten

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

K.N.4.a
Represent and explain addition and subtraction as part-whole relationships, with addition as putting together and/or adding to and subtraction as taking apart and/or taking from, using objects, drawings, numbers, and equations.
Taught inPut together Take away One problem, many pictures Act out an adding storyand 11 more
K.N.4.b
Compose and decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way using verbal explanations, objects, or drawings.
Taught inWays to make 5 Hidden counters The two parts can match
K.N.4.c
For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, sharing the answer with a model, drawing, or equation.
Taught inMake 10 Partners of 10 turn around
K.N.4.d
Efficiently, flexibly, and accurately add and subtract within 5.
Taught inAct out an adding story Act out a take-away story Count on to add Start with the bigger numberand 6 more
K.N.4.e
Solve authentic problems that involve addition and subtraction within 10 (e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations to represent the problem).
Taught inAct out an adding story Act out a take-away story Count on to add Start with the bigger numberand 5 more

Geometry

K.G.1.a
Identify and name two-dimensional shapes including circles, triangles, squares, and rectangles regardless of orientation or size.
Taught inFour flat shapes Turned, it is still a triangle A square is a rectangle too Solid shapes
K.G.1.b
Identify and name three-dimensional shapes including spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones regardless of orientation or size.
Taught inFour flat shapes Turned, it is still a triangle A square is a rectangle too Solid shapes
K.G.1.c
Describe the relative positions of shapes in relation to other objects or shapes using terms such as above, below, in front of, behind, and next to.
Taught inShapes all around us
K.G.1.d
Create shapes using given materials and describe one or more of the attributes such as number of sides/corners.
Taught inSort by shape, not by size Same and different Roll or stack A cube is not a squareand 1 more
K.G.1.e
Combine simple shapes to compose larger shapes.
Taught inShapes make shapes Line up the sides

Measurement and Data

K.G.2.a
Describe measurable attributes of authentic objects including length, capacity, and weight.
Taught inWhat can we measure?
K.G.2.b
Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common to describe which object is longer/shorter, heavier/lighter, and has more/less-capacity.
Taught inLine up the ends Higher is not taller Bigger is not always heavier Taller does not always hold more
K.G.3.a
Identify the name and value of pennies, nickels, and dimes.
Taught inPennies, nickels, dimes, quarters Bigger coin, not bigger value
K.G.3.b
Identify the parts of digital and analog clocks. Tell and write time to the hour using digital clocks and analog clocks using only the hour hand.
Taught inTime to the hour Time to the half hour The short hand tells the hour The 6 means 30 minutes
K.D.1.a
Identify, sort, and classify objects by size, shape, color, and other attributes.
Taught inSort, then count Which group has the most?One rule at a time
K.D.1.b
Identify objects that do not belong to a particular group and explain the reasoning used.
Taught inSort, then count Which group has the most?One rule at a time Sort it, then graph it
