Classification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Classification can be defined as the arrangement or sorting of objects into groups on the basis of a common property that all of them have. It refers to the process of categorizing objects or numbers into distinct groups or classes based on shared characteristics or properties.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This categorization helps in organizing and understanding mathematical concepts, making it easier to work with and analyze different elements within the same class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-classification-and-sorting\">Classification and Sorting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sorting refers to arranging objects into a certain order (ascending or descending). Sometimes, sorting also refers to putting similar things together, like all the flowers, or all the fruits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Classifying is when we already decide which groups things belong to. For instance,&nbsp; when a teacher tells us to put red pens with red pens, blue pens with blue pens, etc. When we do this, we learn what makes things the same and different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-what-are-the-different-ways-of-classification\">What Are the Different Ways of Classification?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We can classify terms or figures on the basis of various parameters depending on the objects we are dealing with. Let\u2019s discuss a few ways to understand this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Classification of Objects by Shape<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The objects can be classified into different categories based on their shape, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/triangle\">triangles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/quadrilateral\">quadrilaterals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometry\/circle\">circles<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> We have classified different objects on the left based on their shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/classification-of-objects-by-shapes.png\" alt=\"Classification of objects by shapes\" class=\"wp-image-35455\" title=\"Classification of objects by shapes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/classification-of-objects-by-shapes.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/classification-of-objects-by-shapes-300x202.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Classification of Objects by Size<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Classification of objects by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/measurements\/size\">size<\/a> is the process of arranging items into groups based on their dimensions, such as length, width, or height.
