Subject Level: Classifying & Sorting

Classifying & sorting can be thought of as putting things together in groups that share a common quality or feature. An example would be to circle all the squares on the page. Sorting can also be based on more than one feature. An example would be to put all the red marbles into the red bag and all the blue marbles into the blue bag. Here you are sorting by marble and bag color. It seems all “very elementary my dear Watson” as Sherlock Holmes would say, but when you get to be a grown up then you get to sort things like $10 bills and $20 bills (or $50 and $100 bills! Or maybe quarters, nickels and dimes!)!
