Sorting objects or toys according to size helps children develop their intellect. These lessons are not only fun, but are building blocks for later learning. Montessori used sorting, matching and classifying as a means to academic learning in math, reading and science.
Here are some facts about matching and sorting puzzles:
Noticing different shapes or patterns helps children categorize.
Discriminating items from smallest to largest helps with math concepts of less and more.
Sorting and matching are muscle and mind exercises.
Understanding sequencing from smallest to largest, or largest to smallest, helps children discern subtle differences.
Using the material from left to right helps with reading and writing skills in many cultures.
