2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning
The 2023 Mathematics Standards of Learning for Kindergarten, published by the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE), can be downloaded at the following links:
The VDOE has also provided an Understanding the Standards document to further define the content knowledge, skills, and understandings of the Standards of Learning.

Scope and Sequence
Throughout our documents, there will be references to standards explored, standards taught to proficiency, and standards for targeted review.
Standards explored refers to standards that are given limited coverage in the unit. The purpose of explored standards will vary by unit, but often provides opportunities for students to make connections between different mathematical ideas or begin thinking about new concepts.
Standards taught to proficiency are those that should be completely covered (to the given limiter if appropriate) by the end of the unit. These are standards that could be included on an end of unit assessment.
Standards for targeted review are those that were taught to proficiency in a previous unit. They are revisited to allow for students to review the concept or to make new connections.
The timeframe for Kindergarten is based on a 36-week school year.
Standards Progression
For best results, open this spreadsheet in a new window. Then, create a temporary filter by selecting "data" from the menu, then "filter views," then "create temporary filter. This will allow you to filter out blanks from a given unit to see which standards are taught to proficiency, explored, or noted as targeted review in that unit.
