Narrative
Students sort 10–20 objects into two or three categories and then show how they sorted. Provide students with a group of items that will be interesting for them to work with such as:
pattern blocks
connecting cubes
counters
combination of the blocks, cubes, and counters
sets of books
Students then show their representation to a partner and ask questions that can be answered about their collection of objects.
Additional Information
Create collections of 10–20 objects with up to three attributes by which to sort.
