In kindergarten math, problem-solving refers to the process of finding solutions to mathematical equations or situations by using critical thinking and logical reasoning. It involves identifying the problem, analyzing the given information, and applying appropriate strategies to reach a solution.

Problem-solving skills are essential for young learners as they help build their confidence, critical thinking, and analytical skills. In kindergarten, children are introduced to simple problem-solving tasks such as counting objects, recognizing patterns, and identifying shapes.

These tasks help children develop a solid foundation for more complex problem-solving tasks as they progress through their academic journey.
