Yarn Ball Sorting

This worksheet asks students to examine different yarn balls and determine whether each one is large or small. Students draw lines to sort the yarn balls by size. The activity enhances their ability to recognize differences in scale and strengthens early measurement concepts. Students practice categorizing based on a single attribute-size-while ignoring other features like color. This improves cognitive flexibility and visual discrimination skills. The task also reinforces fine motor control as students draw connecting lines. By sorting everyday objects, children engage with math concepts in a familiar context.
