How it works
These sorting worksheets for kindergarten open with three boxes headed Squares, Ovals and Hearts, and twelve shape tiles along the bottom. The child cuts the tiles out and pastes each one under its heading.

Two ways to sort
Under More options, Kind of sheet has two rules. Shapes by name is the opening sheet: the tiles are shapes in different sizes, so the child sorts by shape and ignores size. Big and small has two boxes and mixes pictures and shapes; each one goes under Big or Small.
How many tiles
Things to sort sets the number of tiles, from 6 to 18 on the shapes sheet. Eight tiles gave two groups and twelve gave three. The boxes show one empty square for every tile that belongs there, so a child can see when a group is full.
- Things to sort changes how many tiles and headings print.
- The tiles have dashed edges and a scissors mark where the cutting starts.
