shape sorting
Geometry recognition activity
Shape sorting is the activity of matching objects to corresponding openings based on their geometric form—circles through circular holes, squares through square slots.
It typically refers to a children's educational toy designed to develop spatial reasoning and motor skills: The toddler spent twenty minutes with her shape sorter.
The concept extends to any categorization by geometric properties.
