Kindergarten Common Core Math Vocabulary Word Wall Cards

This packet has word cards for important vocabulary words in the Math Common Core State Standards for Kindergarten. This will allow you to create a Math Word Wall to help expose students to this important academic vocabulary. The cards are illustrated to help students understand the meaning of each word and are color-coded by domain.

The following words are included:
In the Counting and Cardinality domain: count, number, zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, one hundred, count by tens, count forward, more, less, greater than, less than, equal, equal sign, compare numbers, compare numerals, numerals, represent a number, ten frame, five frame, hundreds chart, and equal sets.

In the Number and Operations in Base Ten domain: count, number, compose, decompose, ones, tens, hundreds, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, and base ten blocks. There are two cards for each number: one shows the base ten blocks configuration and one shows the decomposition equation, such as 16 = 10 + 6 (1 ten and 6 ones).

I also have a Language Arts Common Core Word Wall Set for Kindergarten here :)

I have matching "I Can" Statement Posters for Math Common Core Standards here. Thanks for looking and happy teaching!
