Sorting means putting things that are alike together. Let’s sort by color: all the red ones here, all the blue ones there!
Key idea
Things that are the same color go together.
For the grown-up: Sort laundry by color, crayons into cups, or toy cars by color. Ask “How did you sort them?” There can be more than one good way. A few problems on the screen is plenty. The real practice is with things you can touch.
- Try it at home: Sort socks by color.
- Sort crayons or blocks into colored bowls.
- Count how many red things are on the table.
