Sorting in Maths
- These blocks have been sorted by colour. How many groups are there?
- Will she trick me?
- This looks tricky.
- Sorting the foam shapes with a partner.
- Some groups only have 1 block.
- We’re sorting for thickness.
- Which group has the most blocks?
- How shall we sort these?
- Can you count the groups you have made?
- We’ve sorted by size.
- We need to look at the blocks carefully.
- We’ve sorted thick and thin blocks.
We have discovered there are many ways to sort things in maths. They include:
*what it is made of
*shape
*patterns
*types or kinds
*colour
*size
*thickness
We have sorted children, pegs and the foam shapes.
Can you think of any other ways we could sort?
