Preschool –
Grade 2
Same and Different: Sort and Classify
BUNDLE
No text: PRINT & SASSOON
Minimum of 8 characters x 8 colors in each of the 7 sets:
Dogs, Cats, Woodland Animals, Sea Creatures, Zoo Animals, Farm Animals, Birds
SORTING TASKS:
•
Use visual
discrimination skills to sort the animals by color, shape, size, direction,
or other common features.
•
Begin with
teacher-directed tasks, or class demonstrations when learning how to sort. (Use one attribute, e.g. color or shape for
an initial sort. Then add a second
attribute, color and shape, etc.)
•
Invite the children to
play with the material and think of their own sorting rule. Be aware of
individual differences. Support and
encourage the learning. After the sort
ask, “What is your sorting rule?”
Invite them to share their reasoning, “Tell me why this animal is
here.” “Why did you use the bears?” Encourage
them to “think about their thinking.” Take opportunities to extend the learning.
•
CREATE AND EXTEND PATTERNS!
(Use sentence strips to provide a visual line for the sequence.) e.g.
•
a b a b a b
•
aa bb aa bb aa bb
•
abc abc abcabc
•
abbc abbc
abbc
•
aabbc aabbc aabbc
•
Use some of the 8 sorting circles provided.
•
Use divided trays from the dollar store.
•
Paper plates and hula-hoops
make good sorting rings.
•
As the children gain skills, add a Venn
diagram.
Mathematical concepts and language learning… they all
overlap!
Have a great day!
