Classification and Sorting ActivitiesSorting and classifying are fundamental skills that form the basis of much of geometry as well as pattern recognition. When we sort and classify objects (or pictures, or words, or anything else), we determine characteristics that the objects share, and characteristics they don't share. In other words, we identify how they are alike and how they are different.
This great Reggio-Emilia provocation is a wonderful example of how we can support and scaffold children's learning through the use of stimulating, hands on, play based activities using readily available resources from their natural environments where children can differentiate between big and small, heavy and light etc. Please click on the picture to be taken to a great external resource with many examples and activities for classification and sorting. |
