PK.A.1.1
PK.A.1.1 Sort and group up to 5 objects into a set based upon characteristics such as color, size, and shape and explain verbally what the objects have in common.
In a Nutshell
This objective asserts that, when viewing a group of 5 objects, students should be able to identify common attributes by which the group can be sorted and explain the reasoning behind their sort.
Student Actions

Teacher Actions
|
-
Develop a flexible conceptual understanding of a variety of characteristics by which they can sort objects.
-
Develop mathematical reasoning by recognizing shared attributes between objects.
-
Communicate mathematically by explaining how and why they sorted the objects.
|
-
Elicit evidence of thinking by encouraging students to explain their reasoning and asking why.
-
Develop procedural fluency by providing an opportunity to sort a variety of objects in various settings.
-
Facilitate mathematical discourse by providing opportunities for students to explain their sorting choices in a group setting.
-
Support productive struggle by encouraging students to sort the same set of objects in multiple ways.

Key Understandings

Misconceptions
|
-
Identification of attributes by which objects can be sorted (size, shape, color, texture, etc.)
-
Recognize shared characteristics between objects
|
-
Merely separating objects into any group is effectively sorting. (i.e., just moving the objects apart on a surface constitutes sorting)
-
Objects can only be sorted in one way.
-
Objects can be sorted by more than one attribute at a time (i.e., this pile is purple; this pile is circles.)
