Introduction: - Begin the lesson by asking the students if they have ever sorted objects before. Discuss with them why sorting is important and how it helps us organize things. - Explain that today, they will be learning about sorting sets of data about people or things according to one attribute. This means they will be organizing objects or people based on a specific characteristic.

Lesson Outline: 1. Review: Start by reviewing what attributes are. Ask the students to give examples of attributes (e.g., color, size, shape). 2. Introduce Sorting: Explain that sorting is when we group objects or people based on an attribute. Show examples of objects or pictures of people and ask the students to identify the attribute they could sort them by (e.g., color, size, shape, gender). 3. Sorting Rules: Discuss the rules that can be used for sorting. For example, if sorting by color, the rule could be “put all the red objects together.” If sorting by size, the rule could be “put all the big objects together.” 4. Group Activity: Divide the students into small groups and provide each group with a set of objects or pictures. Instruct them to sort the objects based on a specific attribute and follow the sorting rules discussed. 5. Hands-on Activity: Provide each student with a set of objects or pictures. Instruct them to sort the objects individually based on a specific attribute and follow the sorting rules. Circulate the classroom to observe and assist students as needed. 6. Assessment for Learning (Formative): During the hands-on activity, ask questions to check for understanding. For example, “Why did you put these objects together?” or “What rule did you use to sort these pictures?” 7. Assessment as Learning: Have students share their sorting results with the class. Ask them to explain the attribute they sorted by and the rules they used. 8. Observations and Conversations: Throughout the lesson, observe students’ understanding and engagement. Engage in conversations with individual students to assess their understanding and provide feedback. 9. Product: As a culminating activity, have students create a poster or display showing their sorted sets of objects or pictures. They should include the attribute they sorted by and the rules they used.

Duration: 45-60 minutes
