Once again I scored at Target's dollar section. I found a bunch of card sorts on clearance about a month ago and picked them up as fillers and fun hands on activities. Plus, sorting by attributes is definitely a good math skill to practice. The kids loved them! Ben was working on a "quick add" card sort where he had to count or add together groups of items and then figure out the answer. We have been working on adding groups (knowing that 5 is a group of 5 and can be counted like that instead of counting individual items), so I thought it would be a fun way to practice.
Kate sorted pictures into categories based on various attributes. I read to her the category heading and she did the rest herself!
This has quickly become one of Kate's favorite activities and asks to do it just about every morning. Sure... why not? :) I love when we find an activity that helps with an important skill but is also one of their favorite things to do.
