Sorting Socks and Patterns

Emma, Matt, and Eddie engage in a playful activity of sorting socks. They begin by sorting socks based on length, then by patterns like stripes and spots, and finally by colors. Through this activity, they demonstrate how sorting and classifying are fundamental aspects of math, showing that math is more than just numbers—it's a way of organizing and understanding the world. The video concludes with a reflection on the fun and educational aspects of sorting socks.
