Sorting and Recording

Today in math we extended on our learning from last week. Many children were able to sort. In kindergarten we learn that things can be sorted by multiple attributes! Items can be sorted by color and shape and size! For example; red, big, triangles; red, big, squares; red, little, triangles and red, little, squares. Usually children pick one attribute (sorting into piles of matching color only or shape only) with witch to sort. This helps to build and extend on what they already know.

 We took our learning one step further today by recording how and what we sorted. I love watching these mathematicians make their thinking visible!!

Ask your child how he/she sorted today!

WE ARE MATHEMATICIANS!

WE CAN SORT!
