Synopsis
Eating candy is easy, but counting and sorting it is much more difficult! George quickly learns this when he agrees to watch Cayley's candy counter for an afternoon. While trying to stack the chocolates into different shapes, they all fall over, and George can't remember which candy is what! With help from a few customers, and a little sampling, George discovers how to sort the candies by color and shape.
Educational Objective: Math: To demonstrate sorting and classifying sets of objects (or animals) by size, number and other characteristics (properties); to model building, sorting, and the comparing of two- and three-dimensional shapes.
Live Action Segment : Kids visit a children's museum where they have been "hired" for the day to help organize and stock the shop that sells recycled materials. They have to sort barrels of industrial widgets and craft materials by size and price.
