Sorting

Sorting is the process of arranging items in a specific order, such as by size, color, or type.

Grouping items means putting similar items together based on shared characteristics.

One way to sort objects is by color, like putting all red items in one group and all blue items in another.

An example of sorting by size is arranging blocks from smallest to largest.

Belonging means that an item fits into a specific group based on its characteristics.

We can sort animals by type, such as grouping all dogs together and all cats together.

A category is a group that shares common features, like 'fruits' or 'vehicles'.

An example of sorting by type is putting all toys in one group and all books in another.

We count items by saying the numbers in order, like 1, 2, 3, and so on.

'How many' asks for the total number of items in a group.
