I remember looking once at what chikdren in Kindergarten were expected to know, and it was quite a bit. I have a young son, and would like to know:

What is a Kindergartener expected to know about numbers and shapes and other mathematical concepts?

From http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/K/introduction/:

Counting and Cardinality

  • Know number names and the count sequence.
  • Count to tell the number of objects.
  • Compare numbers.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

  • Understand addition as putting together and adding to, and understand subtraction as taking apart and taking from.

Number and Operations in Base Ten

  • Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value.

Measurement and Data

  • Describe and compare measurable attributes.
  • Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category

Geometry

  • Identify and describe shapes.
  • Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes.

Mathematical Practices

  • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
  • Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
  • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
  • Model with mathematics.
  • Use appropriate tools strategically.
  • Attend to precision.
  • Look for and make use of structure.
  • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

  • $\begingroup$ The link no longer works, but if that document is the some one as this one, then it looks to me like these are the standards to be taught in Kindergarten, not the expectations for beginning Kindergarteners. $\endgroup$

I am not aware of incoming requirements for Kindergarten but the link above details the learning goals for CC math at grade K.

    $\begingroup$ May I suggest that you make the answer more self-contained by summarizing how the link answers the question. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The link is identical to the one in Andy Mikula's answer, so one can refer to that answer for the content. The important part of this answer is that it explains that these are not incoming requirements for Kindergarten. $\endgroup$

Here is a github page that details connections between all standards: CCSSM Flow View

For example, you can hover over the standards for K and see how they relate to others. Moreover, you can click through to see the description of the standard, its prerequisites, and its dependent strands.

Site description:

Hover over a standard to see what it depends on (blue) and what depends on it (red). The colors fade as the dependency chain to the standard becomes longer. Click on a standard for more detail on the standard and its prerequisites and dependent standards. The dependencies are derived from a shared spreadsheet, referenced from a document by Jason Zimba.

Hopefully this helps clarify both what is to be known for CCSSM, and also how the covered material will be built upon in subsequent years.
