Today, the JK students continued to investigate during Centre time with their math sorting activities. What was most compelling with this activity for Sophia and her partner was that they not only ‘sorted’ the animals, but created the two different habitats of ‘land’ and ‘water’. This was a two-tiered understanding and one that was rather sophisticated in their thinking and application.

Not only does this demonstrate the understanding of the concept of ‘sorting,’ but the girls involved in this creation were also able to create and design using prior knowledge of the world surroundings.
