Kindergarten Mathematics

Kindergarten objectives emphasize the use of manipulatives, concrete materials, and appropriate technology so that students explore and develop ideas fundamental to the study of mathematics: number, counting, ordering, comparing, classifying, patterning, shape, size, position, numeration, measuring, and problem solving. Emphasis is on experience and growth in mathematics. The West Virginia Standards for 21st Century Learning include the following components: 21st Century Content Standards and Objectives and 21st Century Learning Skills and Technology Tools. All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates learning skills, technology tools and content standards and objectives.
