Independent work is a crucial skill to teach our students in special education! Sorting activities are a great place to start! These are some great sorting activities for independent work!
Real Picture Number Sorting
The Real Picture Sorting Activities resource has TONS of sorting practice. One of the activities included are number sorts. Practice number sorting, non-identical matching, and counting skills with this activity! You can make this as simple or as complex as your students need. For beginning independent workers, give them just one sorting mat and the correct pieces so they can complete this as an errorless learning activity. For more advanced independent workers, give them multiple sorting mats to test their skills! You can grab this activity HERE!
Real Picture Seasons Sorting
Also included in the Real Picture Sorting Activities resources are real picture seasons sorts! This is a great resource to include in your independent work center during season changes! Give your students one mat for errorless learning with the new season, or give them multiple for more of a challenge! This activity will help students understand what to expect with the season change!
Real Picture Color Sorting
Another great way to utilize sorting during independent work centers is to collect IEP goal data! We are all for multipurpose activities! Sorting and color identification goals could be addressed with this activity alone! The Real Picture Sorting Activities resource could help you collect data on TONS of student IEP goals!

This sorting activity bundle has something for every student! You could use this bundle in your independent work centers all year long! These are low prep, low maintenance activities that can last your classroom for years to come! Plus, you can work on a wide variety of skills with your students!
