The Great Sock Sort

Loopy

Ages 4-7About 10 minutes

You will need

What to do

  1. Mix the socks into one pile.
  2. Ask your child to invent a sorting rule (colour, size, owner, stripes).
  3. Sort by the rule, then ask: "Can you sort them a different way?"
Talk about it: What was your rule? Could someone guess it just by looking?

Praise the effort and the strategy (“you tried a new way!”) rather than being clever. From Mivora — mivora.html.technology
