Playing with bugs and buttons has never been so much fun! Offering a variety of different activities, this is a great resource for developing basic skills in preschool and kindergarten-aged children.

Young mathematicians are on their feet and moving around in this primary grade sorting activity. After giving each child an object or picture card, they then sort themselves into groups, counting to see which has the most or least...

Young mathematicians rotate, flip, and sort their way to an understanding of the different attributes of geometric figures. Using transparent yellow and blue shapes, children try to match congruent figures together...

Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this hands-on sorting activity. Given a bag of objects, students work independently sorting the items based on their physical attributes, counting to determine the size of each group....

Lower graders sort and group objects by their different properties. They watch a video about sorting then, sort and organize candy in different groups. Students compare how others sorted their candy. Finally, they decide which group has...

Students sort objects and create patterns. In this sorting and graphing instructional activity, students work at centers to find a way to sort a group of objects, then make a graphical representation of the number of each item. Finally,...

Fifth graders are engaged in sorting and classifying geometric shapes of various colors and sizes. They discuss the properties of these shapes and illustrate a range of classifications using Venn diagrams.

First graders explore the math concept of geometric shapes. In this plane shapes and solid shapes activity, 1st graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Reinforce the concept of one-to-one correspondence with a Valentine's Day-themed counting and color sorting activity. Scholars sort foam hearts by color—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—then count and place them on a number...

Math and religious studies are integrated together using using cuisenaire rods and Kid Pix for this problem-solving exercise. In pairs, they match different colored rods to represent various groups of people. Meanwhile, students at...

Learners sort, classify and write about what characteristics they used to sort fish counters.

Looking for a good lesson on counting and sorting? This lesson is worth a look! In this classification lesson, learners sort buttons by color, shape, shiny verses not shiny, or number of holes.

Fifth graders explore geometry by creating shapes with construction paper. In this shape characteristics instructional activity, 5th graders identify the different attributes that make up specific shapes and create them using...

In this sorting objects activity, students learn to sort and count objects. Students then answer questions based specific button shapes and colors.

Students sort objects by shape, size and color. In this math and literacy sorting lesson, students listen to the book Freddy the Fish and the Squash that Goes Squish by Duke Christoffersen. Students work in small groups to sort vegetable...

Students use their Halloween candy to practice sorting and classifying. They compete a Venn diagram comparing their candy wrappers. They develop ways as a class to catorgize the candy in different ways.

Students use different color items to sort by color and different attributes of the manipulatives given to them. In this sorting lesson plan, students also write a journal entry or draw a picture of their activity.

Second graders draw a model using correctly formed geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, 2nd graders notice geometric shapes in the world around them and accurately draw these shapes.

Young scholars investigate shapes. In this dimension and orientation of shapes instructional activity, students identify and color shapes, use shape stamps to form animals, glue shapes together to make other objects and describe how...

This is a Pre-K teacher's must-have resource for pre-assessing learners at the beginning of the school year! Covering everything from alphabet recognition and sorting objects to social-emotional development and work habits, this...
