Kindergarten Math Printables (Free, Ages 5 to 6)

Counting, number writing, addition, subtraction and patterns for kindergarten, as free worksheets you make yourself and free math workbooks.

What kindergarten math covers

In kindergarten, children learn that a number tells how many. They count to 100 by ones and tens, write the numbers 0 to 20, compare groups, and begin to add and take away with pictures. Standards differ from state to state, so use the lists below as a menu and match them to what your child’s class is doing.
