Grouping
- Matching & Sorting
When kids learn that objects have the same characteristics, they can begin to match them together and to sort similar or dissimilar objects into different groups.

- Patterns
Children learn to copy and extend repeating and growing patterns. Then, they’re ready to create their own patterns!

Numbers
- Counting
Little mathematicians learn foundational skills, such as identifying numbers and counting in sequence while also understanding quantity – or how many are in a group.

- Quantity
Learning to estimate the number of objects in a small set without counting them individually helps kids as they build more complex math skills.

- Adding & Subtracting
Early learners build basic early adding skills before progressing to subtraction.

Shapes & Position
- Shapes
Children first recognize defining features of different shapes before they are able to construct and deconstruct them.

- Position
Noggin kids learn to understand words that describe position (e.g., in, out, above), which helps them explain directions and navigate the space around them.

Measurement
- Measuring Objects
When learning to measure, kids first use everyday objects to compare length, height, and width before utilizing rulers, scales, and other standard measures.

When young kids develop an awareness of themselves – and how they connect to others – they’ll begin to take pride in themselves and their culture.
