K.2I Put together and take apart numbers up to 10 using objects and pictures
K.3 Number and operations: understand joining and separating situations to solve addition and subtraction problems
K.3A Act out joining to show addition and separating to show subtraction
K.3B Use objects and drawings to work out word problems with totals through 10 and differences within 10

K.4 Number and operations: name U.S. coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter) to see why money is exchanged
K.4A Name U.S. coins, including the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter
Algebraic Reasoning
Patterns, relationships between quantities, and representing problems with equations and expressions.
K.5 Algebraic reasoning: find the pattern in the counting sequence by saying numbers to 100 by ones and tens from any start
K.5A Say the number sequence by ones and by tens from any starting number, reaching at least 100
Geometry and Measurement
Classifying shapes and solids, measuring length, area, volume, time and money, and using measurement tools.
K.6 Geometry and measurement: study attributes of flat shapes and solid figures to form general ideas about them
K.6A Identify flat shapes: circles, triangles, rectangles, plus squares seen as a type of rectangle
K.6B Identify solid figures in the real world: cylinders, cones, spheres, and cubes
K.6C Identify the flat shapes that make up faces and parts of solid objects
K.6D Name attributes of flat shapes, moving between everyday and formal geometry vocabulary
K.6E Sort and classify a range of regular and irregular flat and solid figures, whatever their orientation or size
K.6F Make flat shapes from a variety of materials and by drawing
K.7 Geometry and measurement: directly compare measurable attributes of objects
K.7A Give an example of an attribute of an object that can be measured, including length, capacity, and weight
K.7B Compare two objects by a shared measurable attribute, tell which has more or less of it, and describe the difference
Data Analysis
Collecting, organizing and displaying data, and answering questions from graphs and tables.
K.8 Data analysis: gather and organize data so it can be used to interpret information
K.8A Collect objects or information, then sort it into two or three groups and organize the results
K.8B Make real-object and picture graphs from data
K.8C Interpret real-object and picture graphs to reach conclusions
Personal Financial Literacy
Earning, saving, spending, borrowing and planning with money.
K.9 Personal financial literacy: manage money wisely for long-term financial security
K.9A Identify ways people earn income
K.9B Distinguish money that is earned as income from money that is given as a gift
K.9C List basic skills needed for different jobs
K.9D Tell wants from needs and recognize income as a way to meet them
Mathematical Process Standards
The ways students do math at every grade: problem solving, choosing tools, communicating and justifying reasoning.
K.1 Mathematical process standards: use math processes to build and show understanding
K.1A Use math to solve real problems from daily life, the community, and work
K.1B Solve problems with a model: study the given information, plan, find an answer, justify it, then check the process and whether the answer is reasonable
K.1C Pick suitable tools (real objects, manipulatives, pencil and paper, technology) and techniques (number sense, estimation, mental math) for solving problems
K.1D Share mathematical ideas, reasoning, and consequences through symbols, diagrams, graphs, and words
K.1E Build and apply representations that help organize, record, and communicate math thinking
K.1F Examine relationships in math to link ideas together and explain them
K.1G Show, explain, and defend math ideas and arguments in speech or writing with exact math vocabulary
How many Kindergarten TEKS Math Standards are there?
There are 36 Kindergarten TEKS Math Standards on this page, in 6 strands: Number and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning, Geometry and Measurement, Data Analysis, Personal Financial Literacy, and Mathematical Process Standards.
How do I write an assessment for a Kindergarten TEKS Math standard?
Pick a standard on this page and choose Make a quiz. AssessmentWiz opens the generator with the standard's code and text filled in, so every question targets that standard.
What does a code like K.2A mean?
TEKS math codes read grade, knowledge and skills statement, student expectation. In K.2A, the first number is the grade (K for kindergarten), the next number is the knowledge and skills statement, and the letter is the student expectation under it.
