Math U See Primer K
Class Description:
In this kindergarten math class the student will use Math U See Primer to learn math. Math U See is a curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach math concepts. Student work toward building understanding by using a multi-sensory, mastery-based approach. (
The student will learn to write numbers, basic addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, telling time, and be introduced to the manipulative block system.

Learning Goals/Performance Objectives: K.1.A Rote count by ones forward from 1 to 100 and backward from any number in the range of 10 to 1.
K.1.B Read aloud numerals from 0 to 31.
K.1.D Order numerals from 1 to 10.
K.1.F Compare two sets of up to 10 objects each and say whether the number of objects in one set is equal to, greater than, or less than the number of objects in the other set.
K.2.A Copy, extend, describe, and create simple repetitive patterns.
K.2.C Model addition by joining sets of objects that have 10 or fewer total objects when joined and model subtraction by separating a set of 10 or fewer objects.
K.3.A Identify, name, and describe circles, triangles, rectangles, squares (as special rectangles), cubes, and spheres.
1.1.F Fluently compose and decompose numbers to 10
Learning Activities: The student will complete 3-4 lessons (units) per month, per the timeline below. Each lesson consists of video instruction, 3 practice worksheets on new material, 3 systematic review worksheets, an activity page (optional), and a test. There is a unit test after every 7 lessons and a final test at the end.
