Sorting, Ordering, and Classifying

Grouping things by their features and putting them in order!

What is Sorting and Ordering?

Sorting means putting things into groups that are alike!
We can sort by color, shape, size, or any special feature. Ordering means putting things in a line from first to last, smallest to biggest, or in any special sequence!

How Do We Sort and Order?

1️⃣ Look at all the objects carefully

2️⃣ Find what's the same and different

3️⃣ Group or arrange them the right way

Parent Tips 🌟

  • Make it real: Use everyday items like socks, toys, or silverware for sorting practice during cleanup time.
  • Nature walks: Collect leaves, rocks, or sticks and sort them by different features (size, color, texture).
  • Story time: Ask your child to predict what comes next in a story sequence or put picture cards in order.
