Sorting and Patterning

by Megan Bacchus · September 9, 2014

We have started our first Math Unit: Sorting and Patterning! These are our learning goals:

Grade 1	Grade 2
– We can sort things.	– We can sort using two attributes.
– We can talk about how they are the same and different.	– We are learning to make patterns using two attributes.
– We are learning to find patterns and we are learning to make them.	– We can represent the same pattern in different ways.

Try this Sorting Game at home to practice.

Grade 1s should try using two sorting circles. In the game, click this button:

Grade 2s should try using a Venn Diagram. In the game, click this button:

One of the important words we will learn in this unit is ATTRIBUTE. We will sort by the attributes colour, size, shape, and thickness.

All students should try the Guess the Rule game. It looks like this:
