How to teach students to sort objects - Math is not necessarily tough and difficult at all times, sometimes, its really fun and interesting to play with. Do you know what sorting is? Let's find out! Sorting comes from the word sort, which means to place objects with regard to similar objects. In very plain words, it means organizing. We all know what objects are, right? And today we focus on sorting objects. Sorting objects is pretty easy, especially when it comes to objects. You start by creating different groups, for example if you have color pencils, you can create a group for each color and place every objects as per the color they have the most dominant. You can also sort them on the basis of their sizes, for example, place all the big ones in one, and small ones in another. Objects can also be organized on the basis of weight, place all the heavy ones in one group and lighter ones in another.

Many teachers and instructors overlook the importance of teaching students sorting skills. It is often see as a task focused on finding key differences or similarities between the items that are being sorting. My feeling is that this skill is paramount because it helps you easily organize whatever system you are exploring. Sorting things within that system helps you instantly realize the nature of the system itself. These worksheets explain how to group items together based on criteria such as where they live, a common color, if they are edible, etc.
