August's Skill of the Month: Sorting & Classifying. 🔵🔺🟨
Ask a 3-year-old to sort their toys by colour and watch what happens.
They will not just sort. They will explain. They will correct you if you get it wrong. They will invent a new rule halfway through.
That is not chaos. That is a mathematical mind at work.
Sorting and classifying is one of the very first things the brain learns to do with information - put things that belong together, together. It is how we organise data, spot patterns, and make sense of the world.
At i-Maths, we make this feel like play. Because when a child sorts a set of blocks, they are not just tidying up - they are thinking like a scientist.
