Common Core math skills, kindergarten to grade 5
Eagerly Math's practice is matched to 48 skills from the US Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, which most US states use or build on. Here they are by grade, with the place in the app that practices each one.
With Eagerly Math Plus, the Grade checklist marks each skill Known, Practicing or Not started from your child's own answers, and a check-up of about 5 minutes fills in a whole grade.
What this list is, and isn't
Eagerly Math practices the facts and skills that build fluency, one question at a time. It doesn't replace a full curriculum, and it covers the most for kindergarten to grade 3.

Why some standards aren't here
Common Core has about 150 math standards for kindergarten to grade 5, and Eagerly Math practices 47 of them. Some can't be turned into a one-question-at-a-time practice on a screen, and some the app doesn't have. A few examples:
They need real objects or tools
K.G.B.5Build shapes from sticks and clay balls2.MD.A.1Measure length with a ruler or measuring tape
They ask kids to draw or make something
2.MD.D.10Draw a picture graph and a bar graph3.MD.B.4Measure lengths and show them on a line plot
They ask kids to explain their thinking
3.OA.D.9Find patterns in a table and explain them2.NBT.B.9Explain why adding and subtracting strategies work
They're not in the app
2.MD.C.8Money word problems4.NF.B.3Add and subtract fractions5.NBT.A.3Decimals5.MD.C.5Volume
These are better done at home or in class, with paper, a ruler, coins, or a conversation.
