Everyday Mathematics

Month-by-Month Overview
Kindergarten Regular School Year

Everyday Mathematics Kindergarten activities require 60 minutes oI mathematics per day
divided among daily routines, core whole group and small group activities, math centers,
teaching options activities, and games. In addition to the content standards, all Everyday
Mathematics lessons address the process standards: problem solving, representations,
reasoning and prooI, connections, and communication.
