South Carolina Math Standards

 

Highlights of the new learning for kindergarteners are

~comparing sets of objects,

~recognizing the effect of addition and subtraction,

~representing place value within specified ranges,

~classifying based on attributes,

~identifying two- and three-dimensional shapes,

~representing basic two-dimensional shapes,

~using positional and directional words to describe location and movement,

~telling time to the hour and using a calendar,

~making nonstandard measurements and identifying measuring devices, and organizing data in graphic displays and interpreting data.

Standard K-1:The student will have a basic understanding of the mathematical processes of problem solving,
reasoning and proof, communication, connections, and representation.

K-1.1

Apply substantive mathematical problem-solving strategies.

K-1.2 

Generate conjectures and exchange mathematical ideas.

 K-1.3 Explain and justify answers to simple problems.
K-1.4  Analyze patterns by reasoning systematically.
K-1.5 

Generalize mathematical concepts.

K-1.6 

Use a variety of forms of mathematical communication.

 K-1.7  Generalize connections among mathematics, the environment, and other subjects.
K-1.8  Use multiple informal representations to convey mathematical ideas.

            
   Number and Operations  

 

Standard K-2:The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an emerging sense of
quantity and numeral relationships, sets, and place values.

K-2.1 Recall numbers, counting forward through 99 and backward from 10.
K-2.2  Translate between numeral and quantity through 31.
K-2.3

Compare sets of no more than 31 objects by using the terms more than, less than, and the same as.

 K-2.4  Represent simple joining and separating situations through 10.
K-2.5  Understand that addition results in increase and subtraction results in decrease.
K-2.6 Analyze the magnitude of digits through 99 on the basis of their place values.
K-2.7 Represent the place value of each digit in a two-digit whole number.
K-2.8 Identify ordinal positions through 31st.




Algebra

Standard K-3: The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an emerging sense of
repeating and growing patterns and classification based on attributes.

K-3.1 Identify simple growing patterns.
K-3.2 Analyze simple repeating and growing relationships to extend patterns.
K-3.3 Translate simple repeating and growing patterns into rules.

K-3.4        

Classify objects according to one or more attributes such as color, size, shape, and thickness.

 



Geometry

Standard K-4:The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an emerging sense
 of two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes and relative positions in space.

 

K-4.1  Identify the two-dimensional shapes square, circle, triangle, and rectangle
and the three-dimensional shapes cube, sphere, and cylinder.
K-4.2

Represent two-dimensional geometric shapes.

K-4.3   Use the positional words near, far, below, above, beside, next to, across from, and between to describe the location of an object.
K-4.4 Use the directional words left and right to describe movement.




Measurement

Standard K-5: The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an emerging sense of coin values
and the measurement concepts of length, weight, time and temperature.
 

K-5.1     

Identify a penny, a nickel, a dime, a quarter, and a dollar and the value of each.

K-5.2

Compare the lengths of two objects, both directly and indirectly, to order objects according to length.

K-5.3

Use nonstandard units to explore the measurement concepts of length and weight.

K-5.4

 

  Identify rulers, yardsticks, and tape measures as devices used to measure length; scales and balances as devices used to measure weight; calendars and analog and digital clocks as devices used to measure time; and digital and standard thermometers as devices used to measure temperature.

K-5.5    
 

Understand which measure—length, weight, time, or temperature—is appropriate for a given situation.

K-5.6     

Use analog and digital clocks to tell time to the hour.

K-5.7     

Use a calendar to identify dates, days of the week, and months of the year.
K-5.8   Recall equivalencies associated with time: 7 days = 1 week and 12 months = 1 year

 

 
Data Analysis and Probability

Standard K-6: The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an emerging sense of organizing and interpret data.

 

K-6.1  Organize data in graphic displays in the form of drawings and pictures.
K-6.2  Interpret data in graphic displays in the form of drawings and pictures.
