Sorting

As part of student’s mathematical development, they must learn that objects are different according to different attributes and they can be collected, grouped and organized according to theses similarities and differences. We have been talking about sorting objects, specifically buttons. We started by reading a book:

Each student was then given a small container of buttons, and asked to sort them, and then be able identify a sorting rule.

Logan sorted his by colour.

Nevya sorted her buttons according to size, small, medium and large!

Parker and Jouni both used colour.

Emery noticed different coloured buttons.

Connor found buttons that have 2, or 4 or no holes!

Chase is sorting the white buttons out.
