Recently we have been working on the math concept of sorting, making groups of things that are alike. We have engaged with a variety of materials and the class has been encouraged to recognize the features (size, shape, colour, texture, opacity, etc) of objects before creating their own sorting rules.
Students noted that:
HS: I sort the spoon and fork and chopsticks.
MC: You match the same things.
LG: In Minecraft, there’s a sorting machine and it sorts things for me.
DT: Sorting, clean up.
DF: I need to sort my room, it’s a big mess.
What can you sort at home?
