Activity 1.1: Pre- number concepts
Pre- number concept: Sorting and Classifying
Description of the concept: Sorting and classifying is a pre-number concept that involves
organizing objects or information based on similarities and differences. It helps develop
logical thinking, observation skills, and understanding of relationships between objects or
attributes. This concept is important in early childhood education as it lays the foundation for
later mathematical skills such as grouping, patterning, and problem-solving.
