Allow students several choices for their sorting of items. Place several sorting items in a basket and allow students time to create their groupings. Students can work with a partner to play a different version of the above game. Partner 1 places one item on the table. Partner 2 can select a second item on the table. Partner 1 has to decide what the attribute partner 2 used to select the item. Play continues with the partners taking turns at who goes first. Intervention Limit the number of objects in a pile for the students to choose from for the sort. The items should be similar, such as, all buttons, all seashells, etc. This will limit the type of attributes that the students will need to identify. Identify how the objects are alike and or different and label the categories for the sort for the students. STUDENT WORK SAMPLES Kindergarten Unit 5 Measuring and Analyzing Data Task: Ribbon War MCC.K.MD.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. Kindergarten Unit 5 Measuring and Analyzing Data Task: Comparing Towers MCC.K.MD.1 Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object. MCC.K.MD.2 Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/”less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter. Kindergarten Unit 5 Measuring and Analyzing Data Task: Taller Than a Tower of Ten
