What does it mean to sort objects?

In math this nine weeks we are learning how to sort objects. We practiced sorting attribute blocks today by size, shape, and color. We found that we can put the blocks together in groups if they are all big, all small, all blue, all yellow, all red, all triangles, all circles, all squares, all rectangles, or all hexagons. I am so proud of everyone on their first day of learning how to sort objects. Want to help your child at home? Your child can practice sorting coins into groups by same coin, same color, same symbols, and same size.
