Math Readiness - Grade K
Math Readiness - Grade K is a meticulously designed workbook created to improve and prepare children for their foundational math skills. This resource is invaluable for educators in public schools as well as homeschool teachers. The material in this book acts like stepping stones, leading towards more complex mathematical concepts, broken down into manageable sections.
Features & Benefits:
- Variety of Engaging Activities: This workbook contains varying exercises, effectively acting as a precursor to most elementary math curriculums.
- Versatile Layout: Despite having an ordered presentation of pages that serves as a roadmap for teaching, its layout allows flexibility according to each child's unique learning needs.
- Suitable for All Levels of Readiness: The workbook accommodates the varying levels of readiness among children when it comes to mathematics instruction.
- Promotes Independent Learning: The exercises are designed such that students can navigate through them with minimal supervision. This encourages self-reliance and confidence in their acquired mathematical abilities and makes it suitable not just for group lessons but also for individual assignments or guided practice during free study periods.
Breadth of Skills Covered:
- Fosters initial learning on topics such as size comparison and positioning discrimination;
- Presents engaging activities for number recognition up to 10;
- Cultivates knowledge about shapes such as circle, square, rectangle and triangle;
- Provides understanding of base number concepts from 1 through 10; and
- Introduces children to number words. All these skills play a crucial role in advancing a child's mathematical proficiency.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Compare object size and position using terms such as larger, smaller, top, bottom, and middle.
Recognize and color basic shapes: circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles.
Recognize, count, and write numbers zero through ten.
Sequence numbers and match number words to numerals and to sets of objects.
Teaching tips
Work the first item on each page together with the child before letting them finish the page independently, as the front matter suggests.
Keep study sessions brief, since the publisher's own suggestions recommend short, encouraging practice periods.
Pair the counting pages with informal counting experiences at home (setting a table, counting coins) as the supplementary activities suggest.
Skills covered
Size and position discrimination — students circle the larger, smaller, top, bottom, or middle item in a picture set.
Shape recognition — students find and color circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles within pictures.
Number recognition to ten — students color, write, and count sets matching numbers zero through ten.
Number sequencing — students fill in missing numbers and connect numbered dots in order.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Does this workbook need to be completed in its numbered page order?
The numbering reflects a suggested sequence rather than a fixed order — the pages can be used in whatever order best fits a child's needs.
How much adult involvement does each page need once a child gets started?
A child can complete most of each page independently after an adult works through the first item or two together and later checks the finished page.
