 * __Sorting by One Attribute__**

==== **Summary of the Lesson:** This lesson is to introduce sorting, primarily by color. The students will have several opportunities to sort using color and then other attributes. The teacher activates prior knowledge of the students by asking them what sorting is and how you could do it. The students write the ideas down and discuss them; appropriate vocabulary will be included at this time. The teacher tells the students the correct mathematical terms for some of the ideas they are sharing. The teacher reads a book about sorting such as...//Sorting// by Karen Bryant-Mole or //Patterns// by Karen Bryant-Mole. The teacher reads the text and then goes back and discuss the pictures. The teacher will elicit information about the pictures from the students. The students will use manipulatives such as buttons, shapes, colored blocks, colored counting chips etc. demonstrate as a large group how to sort by one attribute. The class will be divided into small groups and work with each group to be sure that each child has an understanding of the expectations. Advanced students will use buttons so they can group by how many holes they have, size, shape, color or design. In this way, you can do more than one demonstration for the advanced or you can use colored counters and blocks for children having difficulty. The students go back to their tables and work alone or with a partner to practice what they saw in the demonstration. The students will journal what they have sorted. If possible, the students will write a sentence about what they did. The teacher will walk around the room as the students are journaling and see how the students are doing and ask the students questions to stimulate journal writing. The students will come back together as a group to discuss the lesson. The teacher will ask questions about what they saw, figured out, expected and how easy or difficult is was to do. The students will be encouraged to use the mathematical vocabulary during the discussion. The teacher will make a T chart, Venn diagram, or list that reflects the discussion including the vocabulary terms. At this time, the students can use one of the attached websites and other activities for follow up or they can be used as a center or as reinforcement at another time. ====

**State or District Standards Addressed in this lesson are**: **2.6.K.B:** Organize and display objects by one or more attributes.
==== **Special Populations:** This classroom is co-taught so the teachers will be able to work with a smaller group if they do not understand the concept. The new vocabulary will be explained in great detail and the students will continue to hear their classmates and teachers use the vocabulary. Once the students have mastered the topic, they will be paired with a “higher” student in order to help guide the student with a learning disability or ESL. ====


 * ==== **Compelling Whys**  ====

|| ==== **5Cs**  ====

|| ==== **KTAV**  ====

|| ==== **GASC**  ====

|| ==== **Temperament Styles**  ====

||
 * ==== __Fun__ ====

The students have fun working with their peers.
|| ==== __ Compare & Contrast __ ====

The students compare and contrast different objects
|| ==== __Kinesthetic__ ==== ==== The students will have to sort themselves based on the colors of their clothes. The students will be moving around the room to do so. Once the students have successfully sorted themselves, they will then have to sort themselves by a different attribute. ==== || ==== __Concrete__ ====

Students are able to hold onto something concrete, like the buttons. They are able to examine the manipulatives and sort the manipulative based on an attribute.
|| ==== __Intuitive Feeling__ ==== ==== The students will have the opportunity to work in a small group to sort manipulatives. They will also be asked to write in their journal explaining what they did in the activity. These students will enjoy working with a partner and getting feedback from their peers and teachers. ==== ||
 * ==== __Freedom__ ====

The students have the freedom to choose if they want to work alone or with a partner.
|| ==== __ Conceptualize __ ====

Once the students identify how objects are the same or different they are able to conceptualize what sorting is.
|| ==== __Tactual__ ====

The students will be writing in their journal explaining what they did. The teacher will also make a T Chart with the students’ guidance.
|| ==== __Abstract__ ====

The students will be discussing why they believe the manipulative fit into a specific group. They will be labeling that group that the manipulative fits into.
|| ==== __Intuitive Thinking__ ====

The students will brain storm ideas on how to sort and will discuss the different ideas. The students will have the freedom to choose if they want to work alone or with a partner.
||
 * ==== __Power__ ====

The students have the choice to work well with their partner throughout the activity or do practice this skill by themselves.
|| ==== __ Comprehend __ ====

The students comprehend what sorting by grouping the objects into the proper category.
|| ==== __Auditory__ ====

The students will discuss ideas about how to sort different items. The teacher will be reading a book to the students
|| ==== __Sequential__ ====

The students must follow the correct lay out of the lesson. The students are told what they are to do in a step-by-step fashion.
|| ==== __Sensing Judging__ ====

The students will feel a sense of belonging by being with a partner and will have responsibilities when working with that partner.
||
 * ==== __Belonging__ ====

|| ==== __ Combine __ ====

The students will combine the information they learned in this lesson with the information they need to complete the website activities.
|| ==== __Visual__ ==== ==== The students will have a book read to them. The students will then go back and discuss the pictures. They will elicit information about the pictures. The students will help the teacher make a T-chart which will be a good visual for the students. ==== || ==== __Global__ ====

|| ==== __Sensing Perceiving__ ====

This type of student will benefit from using manipulatives.
||
 * ==== __Survival__ ====

The students feel safe within the classroom/school.
