Materials need to support the area of Mathematics
Various items throughout the classroom that can be counted, games that use shapes and measuring, printed items and books with numbers, block with numbers, materials and tools for filling and emptying, blocks that vary in size, play dough and other moldable material to create three dimensional shapes, maps and diagrams, nesting blocks, measuring tape, and items for unconventional measuring like yarn, material with patterns and material that can be made into patterns, tools to record data like clip boards, pencils, and paper.

Key Developmental Indicators (KDIs) for the area of Mathematics
The Key Developmental Indicators for mathematics are: 31. Number words and symbols, 32. Counting, 33. Part-whole relationships, 34. Shapes, 35. Spatial awareness, 36. Measuring, 37. Unit, 38. Patterns, 39. Data Analysis.
Students should recognize and use number words and symbols and should be able to count things. Students should combine and separate quantities of things and be able to identify, name, and describe shapes. Students should be able to recognize spatial relationships between people and objects. Students should be able to measure and compare objects and understand the concept of a unit. Students should identify, describe, copy, complete, and make patterns. Students should use information gathered about quantity to draw conclusions and solve problems.
