Year-End Learning Goals for Kindergarten

Verbally counts 20 or more objects in a random arrangement.
Performs verbal counting beyond 100.
Counts backward from 22 or higher.
Counts by 2s beyond 30.
Counts by 5s beyond 110.
Counts by 10s beyond 110.
Reads any number, 100 or less.
Writes any number, 100 or less.
Understands basic meanings of addition and subtraction in real situations, in children’s own number stories, in oral problems, with concrete objects, and on number lines. These concepts are generally assessed with oral rather than written exercises.
Understands 2-digit numbers in terms of 10s and 1s.
Understands equivalent expressions as two or more different expressions of the same number, perhaps by acting out a variety of ways of expressing the same (small) number. (For example, 6 is the same as, or equivalent to, 2 + 4, 5 + 1, 7 – 1 . . . .)
Recognizes many non computational uses of numbers through daily experiences. Example: Counts snacks, children, or days until a special event; measures length, weight, elapsed time, or cost; and has experience with certain reference frames such as clocks, calendars, temperatures, or ordinal numbers.
Estimates comfortably, using such language as about how many, about how much, or about what cost.
Identifies and uses measuring tools for linear, weight, and volume measures.
Performs simple data collection and graphing.
Has experience with basic geometry shapes and symmetry concepts; recognizes and names basic plane and solid figures.
Knows the value of a penny, nickel, and dime; recognizes a quarter.
Estimates time on an analog clock using only the hour hand.
