What is Sorting, Ordering, and Classifying?
Sorting means putting things into groups that are alike.
Ordering means arranging things in a special sequence (like from smallest to biggest).
Classifying is when we give names to the groups we've made!
How We Sort and Order Things
1️⃣ Look at all the objects carefully
2️⃣ Find what's the same and different
3️⃣ Decide how to group or arrange them

Parent Tips 🌟
- Make it real: Use everyday items like toys, socks, or silverware for sorting practice - it makes learning practical!
- Ask questions: "Why did you put these together?" helps children explain their thinking.
- Start simple: Begin with obvious categories (color/size) before moving to more abstract ones.
