We started by doing an example row. I showed Shiloh how to put the cards in order with large, medium and small. Then she tried.

She is really great at self-correction when it comes to colors, so even though she tried putting the wrong color in her row, she quickly realized that it was wrong and placed it in another row.

Then we worked on matching the cards with the rainbow bear manipulatives.

We tried them horizontally. Then vertically.

And even tried them spread out around the desk. That was harder, so we talked while we worked. “Which picture is the biggest?” “Where does the small bear go?”

It’s really important that kids realize that size doesn’t just apply to pictures on a paper. That’s why the rainbow bear manipulatives are great for this activity. I really like the Thinking Kids Math Bears that we have because they can be sorted with both six different colors and three different sizes. They cost a little bit more than some other brands of rainbow bears, but it has been totally worth it for us.

    Your newer bears are so cute. I love that they’ve added orange and purple and little packs on their backs. Your printables look amazing.

      This is the Carson-Dellosa set. The Learning Resources set is slightly different.
