Begin classification work with Non-Living and Living things, two broad categories whose differences are readily perceived. The
Non-Living set includes an overview of the characteristics of inorganic items and 3-part photo cards for 12 non-living things (bucket, cookie, crate, crown, doll, glass, measuring tape, mug, pebbles, plane, rocky hill, string).
Working with these popular card packets helps children find order in their world. First introduce this
Non-Living category alone for naming. Then, mix with
Living (SC72, SC73) for sorting.
