What kindergartners work on in PM Math
A Real Kindergarten Example
See what Kindergarten practice looks like
This is a real PM Math Kindergarten question, aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark MA.K.NSO.1.1, counting a group of objects and choosing the matching numeral.
Example Question
How many lollipops are there?
Show me how
- Touch each lollipop once as you count.
- Say one number for each lollipop.
- There are 7 lollipops, so choose 7.
Answer: 7
Built for Florida parents
See which foundational skills need practice
Mission Score tracking by strand shows whether Kindergarten gaps are in counting, shapes, measurement, or another area, so practice stays focused.
Build skills throughout the school year
Short, age-appropriate missions keep foundational Florida math skills growing from fall through spring, not only around progress-monitoring windows.
Practice Florida-specific standards
Every question maps to a specific Kindergarten Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark (MA.K.*), not a generic worksheet pack.
Help your child gain confidence
Visual questions, Listen support, walkthroughs, and awards make practice feel approachable while parents can see progress over time.
Florida B.E.S.T. curriculum
Built around what Florida kindergartners learn
Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for Kindergarten math are organized into five strands. PM Math offers practice across all five for Kindergarten.
Number Sense and Operations
Counting and writing numerals to 20, ordinal positions, comparing groups, counting to 100 by ones and tens, tens and ones, and exploring addition and subtraction within 10.
- Count & write numerals ≤20
- Compare groups (less / equal / greater)
- Add & subtract within 10
Algebraic Reasoning
Making 10, composing and decomposing numbers 0–10, and solving simple real-world addition and subtraction problems using objects, drawings, or equations.
- Make 10
- Compose & decompose 0–10
- Real-world add & subtract
- Represent problems with equations
Measurement
Identifying measurable attributes such as length, volume, and weight; directly comparing objects; and measuring length with nonstandard units.
- Identify measurable attributes
- Compare longer / taller / heavier
- Nonstandard length units
Geometric Reasoning
Naming and comparing 2D and 3D shapes, sorting figures, matching everyday objects to shapes, and combining simple shapes into composites.
- Identify 2D & 3D shapes
- Compare & sort figures
- Compose simple shapes
Data Analysis and Probability
Sorting objects into categories and comparing which group has more, fewer, or an equal number.
- Sort into categories
- Compare group counts
- More, fewer, or equal
Florida FAST Mathematics
What is Florida FAST Math for Kindergarten?
Florida includes Kindergarten in the FAST Mathematics progress-monitoring system. For Kindergarten through Grade 2, that program uses Renaissance Star Mathematics during the school year's PM1, PM2, and PM3 windows, a different experience from the FAST Mathematics assessments used in Grades 3–8.
PM Math is an independent practice tool built around Florida B.E.S.T. Kindergarten standards. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Florida Department of Education or Renaissance Learning. The goal is simple: give kindergartners steady, age-appropriate practice so foundational skills feel familiar whenever progress monitoring happens.

Practice by Florida B.E.S.T. Benchmark
Every PM Math question is tagged with the specific Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark it practices, so students can work on an exact Kindergarten skill instead of a whole grade at once.

Kindergarten Florida Math FAQ
- What math should a Florida kindergartner know?
- Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for Kindergarten math cover five strands: Number Sense and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning, Measurement, Geometric Reasoning, and Data Analysis and Probability. See "Built around what Florida kindergartners learn" above. Kindergarten does not include a separate Fractions strand.
- Does Kindergarten take Florida FAST Math?
- Yes. Florida includes Kindergarten in the FAST Mathematics progress-monitoring system. For Kindergarten through Grade 2, FAST Mathematics is administered using Renaissance Star Mathematics during PM1, PM2, and PM3, not the same Grades 3–8 FAST Mathematics testing experience.
- What is Star Mathematics in Kindergarten?
- Star Mathematics (from Renaissance) is the tool Florida uses for K–2 FAST Mathematics progress monitoring. PM Math is independent practice aligned to Florida B.E.S.T. Kindergarten skills. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Renaissance Learning, and it is not an official Star assessment.
- Is PM Math aligned with Kindergarten Florida B.E.S.T. Standards?
- Yes. Every PM Math Kindergarten question and benchmark is mapped directly to the Florida B.E.S.T. Mathematics Standards (MA.K.* for Kindergarten).
- Can my child practice individual Kindergarten benchmarks?
- Yes. After creating an account, you can choose a specific Florida B.E.S.T. benchmark, like MA.K.NSO.1.3 (ordinal position), for your child to practice, in addition to recommended daily missions.
- Does PM Math include Kindergarten practice exams?
- Yes. Kindergarten students can take mixed-skill PM Math practice checks: an 18-question half exam or a 34-question full practice exam, with a score report and review afterward. These are PM Math practice checks, not official Star Mathematics tests.
