We are learning to sort by colour, shape, size, texture, and other features we find interesting in our various materials. Once we learn to sort, we are then able to create graphs to find out which group has the most and the least amount of objects.
In this picture we students noticed that apples could be sorted by colour. We used a graph to help us see which apple colour had the most.
We also found many different ways to sort our Halloween candy! Some students chose to sort by the colour of each piece, the shape (pumpkin, jelly bean, broom sticks, etc), and others by the feel of them (soft and hard). Can you find a material at home that needs sorting? I'm sure our students would be able to come up with a variety of rules to sort by!
