Sorting

The children have been exploring the mathematical concepts of sorting and classifying concrete objects and describing the rules they used to do so. 

Sorting our markers, crayons and pencil crayons by colour and tool

Sorting foam pieces by colour and shape

Sorting buttons by colour, size and number of holes


Sorting rocks by texture


At home: Sorting and classifying comes naturally to many children. Work with your child to sort objects around the home (e.g. socks and other types of clothing when you are doing the laundry, their toys when they are tidying up) and have then explain their thinking by describing how they have sorted the objects.
