Kindergarten Math IEP Goals Standards-Aligned
This IEP goal bank is on first-grade math prerequisite skills, including progress monitoring, data collection tools, worksheets, and lesson packs for all top nationally used IEP goals.
Best Kindergarten IEP Goals
Our free resources for IEP goals and objectives for kindergarten math are focused on a learning progression for most Common Core clusters to build strong math foundational skills for future grades. Many math skills included are addition to 10, subtraction within 10, counting, and reading and writing numbers.
You're a kindergarten special education teacher, and you have to write IEP goals for math. It's hard enough to come up with good IEP goals, but it's even harder when they have to be aligned with Common Core Standards.
We've got you covered. Our kindergarten math smart IEP goal bank is filled with state standards-aligned goals that will help your students make progress from their present levels and beyond. Plus, we offer data collection tools, worksheets, and lesson packs to help you track student progress and meet IEP requirements.
The iep goal bank below will help educators with scaffolding, math interventions, and resources for children who struggle in the classroom.

- K.OA.A.4: For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
- K.OA.A.5: Fluently add and subtract within 5.
- K.OA.A.1 Part 2: Represent subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
- K.OA.A.1 Part 1: Represent addition with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings, sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
K.NBT: Number & Operations in Base Ten
- K.NBT.A: Work with numbers 11-19 to gain foundations for place value.
- K.NBT.A.1: Compose and decompose numbers from 11 to 19 into ten ones and some further ones, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each composition or decomposition by a drawing or equation (such as 18 = 10 + 8); understand that these numbers are composed of ten ones and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.

- This goal covers the following objectives
- K.MD.A.2: Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.

- K.G.B.4: Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
- This goal covers the following objectives
- K.G.B.5: Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
- K.G.B.6: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?"
- K.G.B.4: Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
K.SUP: Supporting Skills
- K.SUP.MATH: Supporting Skills for Math
- K.SUP.MATH.1: Although this skill cluster is not associated with a state standard it is still given emphasis at the cluster level. Supporting work at grade level and, where appropriate would be acceptable for many students' grade-level iep goals.
Special education teachers determine what children need for smart iep goals and how best to align common core state standards. Thank you for letting us be part of your special education classsroom.
