Good afternoon parents,
We first learned how to make a simple rule that would create 2 groups. Examples of this would be sorting things by colour (e.g. red, not red), shape (e.g. circle, not circle), or type (e.g. vehicle, not a vehicle).
We then learned how we can make our rule more general which would create several groups. Examples of this would be sorting by colour (which would create groups of red, yellow, green, orange, etc), by shape (which would create groups of squares, circles, stars, hearts, etc.), or type (which would create groups of trains, cars, buses, airplanes, etc.)
You can create sorting activities similar to these simple or general rules in your home to see how your child is understanding the concepts. In kindergarten it is expected that they will be able to sort according to a rule and be able to express that to others to explain how they are sorting.
You can see examples of sorting by clicking on the link below to help you see what this looks like:
