What's covered in K-5 math?
Well, a lot! In the six years your child spends in elementary school, they will learn a wide variety of mathematical skills and concepts.
Kindergarten
In Kindergarten, students will learn how to count to 100 by ones and tens, the basics of addition and subtraction, and be introduced to measurement and shapes.
In first grade, students will learn addition and subtraction strategies that will help them understand more complex equations later on. They will learn how to add up to and within 20.
Second graders build on their addition and subtraction skills, learning to add up to and within 100. They will begin to estimate using their understanding of numbers and quantities.
In third grade, your child moves into more complex mathematics, like multiplication, division, and fractions. It can be a bit of a challenge, so be prepared to help them build confidence.
Once your child is in fourth grade they will learn how to multiply multi-digit numbers, understand place values, work with fractions, factors, and multiples, and analyze data.
5th Grade
Fifth-grade math standards aim to help your child become skilled in using multi-digit numbers, decimals, fractions, and measurement conversions to solve real-world problems.
Solving the mystery of elementary school math
Let’s step back in time for a second. You’re sitting at the kitchen table, staring at your math homework, completely lost on what to do. You ask for help, only for your parent to stare at you wide-eyed, as confused as you are.
At DoodleMath, we remember that feeling – and we’re here to help. Using our knowledge of K-5 math, we’ve designed the games, guides, and practice problems children need to perfect their math skills — and that parents need to provide meaningful guidance along the way.
Why use DoodleMath? We can think of a few reasons.
1. The research doesn’t lie
Math can be a tedious subject. Many students struggle to pay attention, which can make it difficult to retain information.
Recent studies have shown that engaging in activities like online math games can help students with retention, especially over the summer holidays. Games and short practice sessions can also help them stay interested when learning new concepts.
2. Low stakes means better performance when it counts
In the classroom, everything can feel like high stakes. Students are so focused on getting good grades or not falling behind, they often miss out on the excitement of learning.
With DoodleMath’s games and practice problems, students are allowed to make mistakes – in fact, we encourage it! The low stakes environment, complete with our step-by-step explanations on how to solve problems, will help them build their confidence so they can show off in the classroom where it counts!

The DoodleMath app and DoodleLearning give students a place to hone their math skills while providing guidance on how to grow and improve. Like any sport or skill, mastering math is all about practice, practice, practice.
4. Build memories and connections with your child
Whether they’re in kindergarten or 5th grade, children look up to the adults in their life. When they ask for help, they’re saying, “I trust you. I know you can find the right answer.”
DoodleMath provides you with the guides and resources you need to provide meaningful assistance. That means that math homework can become less about stress and anxiety and more about working together to find the right answer.
This leads to invaluable memories that your student will cherish for years to come, making them more likely to come to you when it matters most.
