Early Education

SFUSDs PreK and TK classrooms are guided by a combination of the Kindergarten Core Curriculum standards and the California Preschool Learning Foundations document created by the California Department of Education.
Young children’s development of mathemat­ics knowledge and skills is receiving increasing attention in research and practice. The mathematics foundations cover the following five strands: 
  • Number Sense, which includes understanding of counting, number relationships, and operations 
  • Measurement, which includes comparison and ordering
  • Geometry, which focuses on properties of objects (shape, size, position) and the relation of objects in space 
  • Algebra and Functions (Classifica­tion and Patterning), which focuses on sorting and classifying objects and recognizing and understand­ing simple, repeating patterns 
  • Mathematical Reasoning, which addresses how young children use mathematical thinking to solve everyday problems
