A sorting rule that fits the questionYear 1 HASS · T1 W7–8 · Child / Day 33

Source review complete · local suitability still needs review.

Let’s sort for a reason. Pick a question. Make groups that help you answer it.

Paper, telling/signing/AAC, private work, rest or finish are all okay. A helper can read the source or do the moving you choose.

Pick a way

(a) Two-room collection: Draw two broad rooms labelled with the chosen criterion and direct the object descriptions into them.

(b) Sorter radio: Describe each placement by usual communication; a helper moves only what the child directs.

(c) Change the question: Make two small lists for two different questions and point out one item whose placement changes.

O4 — Sort for the job

Original fiction, play-folder descriptions written 2026. Folded Path: paper, a turn-taking path game. Story Patch: cloth, used to tell a pretend story without a recorded turn rule. Picture Pair: paper, a matching game with turns. Mystery Board: material not stated, used for a turn-taking guessing game. No manufacture dates are supplied. Under a paper-material question, Folded Path and Picture Pair fit; Mystery Board belongs in material-unknown, not automatically non-paper. Under a turns question, Folded Path, Picture Pair and Mystery Board fit; Story Patch has no described turn rule, rather than proof no storyteller ever used turns. The two question/rule sorts need different honest group headings.
