Izzy 3:7 Colour Box 3

We have been using Colour Box 3 for a while and I always encourage some discussion on the Colour she choose, things that are the same Colour or a food the same Colour, just following her interest with no pressure.
Today we talked about light and dark Green and we separated into 2 piles... Light or Dark. Then starting with the lighter pile I asked which was the lightest and she was able to correctly line them up. Then we added in the second darker pile and again she correctly added them to the lighter shades.
I think making smaller groups she was able to concentrate more and less distracted by a large pile of Colour tablets.
Her grading skills were more challenged with the 2 piles as each pile was closer in Colour and less easy to spot a big change such as the lightest green to the darkest green.
As always if she wants to explore at the end of the presentation I let her!!
