What it is
Sorting means putting things that are alike into groups. Kindergartners sort, count how many are in each group, and show the counts on a simple picture graph. Then they use the graph to tell which group has the most or the fewest.
What comes next
First grade math.
How to teach it
- Sort real things like socks, toys or snacks by kind, color or size.
- Count each group and line them up side by side. The longest line has the most.
- Color one box on the graph for each thing, starting at the bottom.
- Ask "How do you know?" when your child says which group has the most.
Common mistakes
- Counting a picture twice or skipping one when they are scattered.
- Coloring graph boxes from the top instead of the bottom.
- Picking the group with the biggest pictures instead of the most.
