Skill level
3-4 years, Basic
Master skills vital for early math learning at ages 3–4: count up to 5, name shapes, recognize simple patterns, compare objects, understand length and height, and more.
Numbers & Counting
Know number and count forward to 5
Count to know a number of objects (up to 5)
Subitize up to 3
Compare up to 5 objects (understand concept of more and less)
Find one more or less for a number using objects
Addition within 5 with objects
Ordinal numbers (first, second, etc.)
Patterns in quantities
Geometry
Use spatial language (above, below, top, bottom, beside, inside, outside, etc.) to describe relative position
Recognize and name flat shapes (circle, triangle, square, etc.)
See symmetry in shapes and objects
Visually compare height and length of objects. Find the longest and the shortest
3D shapes: sphere, cube
See shapes in everyday objects
Cut flat shapes into 2 parts, construct flat shapes from 2 parts
Explore folding and unfolding (with manipulatives)
Simple visual patterns
Solve simple mazes
Logic
Different and same
Sort by color and size
Color, size and shape patterns
Find an object that is different in shape, color or size only
Same and different sets of objects
Choose all objects with the same attribute
Understand a verbal instruction and follow it
Understand the AND operation (Find the shape. It is green AND a circle)
Algorithms
Apply simple operations to different objects and find the result (change color, put triangle on top, etc.)
Arrange events in chronological order
Understand and follow a simple algorithm (instruction)
Introduction to simple programs (2 steps)
