Through play-based learning, Kindergarten learners will grow as mathematicians. They will demonstrate an understanding of counting, subitizing, and comparing quantities. Learners will also demonstrate an understanding that objects can be described, sorted, measured, compared, and used to create repeating patterns according to their attributes.
The Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices provide guidance to all Manitoba educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments to strengthen, extend, and expand student learning.
