Standard of Learning

Kindergarten Standard of Learning Mathematics



Number and Sense



K.1 The student, given two sets containing 10 or fewer concrete items, will identify and

describe one set as having more, fewer, or the same number of members as the other set

using the concept of one-to-one correspondence.



K.2 The student, given a set containing 10 or fewer concrete items, will

a) tell how many are in the set by counting the number of items orally;

b) select the corresponding numeral from a given set; and

c) write the numeral to tell how many are in the set.



K.3 The student, given an ordered set of three objects and/or pictures, will indicate the

ordinal position of each item, first through third, and the ordered position of each item from

left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and/or bottom-to-top.



K.4 The student, will investigate and recognize patterns from counting by fives and tens to 30,

using concrete objects and a calculator.



K.5 The student will count forward to 30 and backward from 10.

It is important that students learn these SOLs at an early age because it will help them in so many ways in the future. They need to know how to count in more ways then just by ones.

Welcome!!

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog. I would like to start off by telling you all a little bit about myself. I just had a little baby girl on March 4. This is my second year at Southside Virginia Community College. I really love kids so that is why I am attending Southside Virginia Community College to become a teacher. I hope to one day teach Kindergarten students. Once i graduate from Southside Virginia Community College I plan to take classes thru Old Dominion University at SVCC. When I was in the 12th grade I took Early Childhood Education. We had to go to the local elementary school and I got to sit in on preschool and kindergarten classes. It was a great experience and it made me want to become a Kindergarten teacher even more. Overall, I am excited about doing this blog, it is my first time ever doing a blog. I hope it will help me learn new things. Also, I hope you all would be interested and enjoy my blog.
