The "Sorting Objects" worksheets are a collection of educational resources designed to help children develop their categorisation and reasoning skills in mathematics. Each worksheet presents a set of objects that students are tasked with sorting into different groups. The criteria for sorting may vary, and students are encouraged to explain the logic behind their chosen method of classification. These activities not only assist in understanding the concept of grouping based on shared attributes but also encourage students to articulate their thought processes and reasoning.

As the worksheets progress, the tasks become more complex, challenging students to identify multiple ways that objects can be sorted. For instance, students may be asked to consider how cakes or shapes have been grouped and to suggest alternative methods of categorisation. Additionally, they are presented with statements about the possible ways to sort objects, such as sheep into colour groups or fish into colour and size groups, and must determine the truthfulness of these statements, providing explanations for their answers. These exercises are designed to enhance critical thinking and to foster a deeper understanding of sorting and organising data in various ways.
