Maths talk
- Classifying and sorting involves finding things that are the same, or alike, and grouping them by specific traits or attributes. Children can then compare items further to learn more specific similarities and differences between items, both within and between matched groups.
- Help children to develop vocabulary such as ‘classify,’ ‘sets’ and ‘categories’ and discuss how things can be grouped and sorted.
- Use words to compare items such as ‘same,’ ‘different,’ ‘fewer,’ ‘longer,’ ‘heavier’ and ‘lighter.’
- Talk about the concepts of similarity and difference by asking questions such as: ‘How are the objects/items in each group similar or different?’
