Sorting Objects — Interactive Lesson (Year 1)

Sorting is one of the earliest ways young children make sense of the world around them. This sorting objects year 1 lesson, built as a 20-slide interactive lesson, gives learners hands-on practice sorting everyday objects by their properties.

Learners sort objects by shape, colour and size, choosing their own criteria in some activities, with instant self-marking feedback throughout.
