Classification is a very basic skill. Humans use classification to organize their lives. This skill is learned and can be consciously practiced. The list of ways we naturally use classification is endless.

We classify…

• ideas as fact and fiction and lies.
• where our food is stored.
• humans (family, friend, acquaintance).
• the rooms in our homes.

Several activities on this website practice classification skills. I have classified them into 3 categories.
