Sorting and pictograms

Sorting and pictograms: I can sort, use tally marks and read pictograms.

1. Here are 4 shapes. Let's sort them by colour.

   Red shapes go in Red. Blue shapes go in Blue.

   Same colour, same group. Our rule is colour.

   Picture: Sorting into 2 groups: Red, Blue. Red: Red circle, Red square. Blue: Blue square, Blue circle.

2. The same 4 shapes. Now the rule is shape.

   Circles go in Circles. Squares go in Squares.

   Red or blue, a circle goes in Circles.

   Picture: Sorting into 2 groups: Circles, Squares. Circles: Red circle, Blue circle. Squares: Blue square, Red square.

3. Your turn: Sort the fruit by colour. Tap a fruit, then tap its group.

   Picture: Sorting into 2 groups: Red, Yellow. Things to sort: Strawberry, Banana, Lemon.

   Sort the cards into the groups.

   Answer

   The answer: Strawberry: Red; Banana: Yellow; Lemon: Yellow

   The strawberry is red, so it goes in Red.

   The banana and the lemon are yellow.
