Seriation skills are defined as the ability to arrange objects in order by size.  The development of seriation skills in young children is a step-by-step process.  As children grow and develop, their ability to place things in order will also improve.  Good seriation skills help with higher order thinking and problem solving.  In other words, to arrange three blocks in order from the smallest to the largest, the children must first be able to analyse the situation and then work out a solution.
