Lesson handout / fictional classroom example

An illustrative example, not a validated curriculum. A teacher should review and adapt it for learners.

Learning aim

Group four fictional cards and explain the rule you chose. Compare your grouping with a partner's grouping.

What you need

Four cards labelled A–D, a pencil and this handout. The values below are invented for the activity.

Four fictional cards
card	color	shape	number
A	blue	circle	2
B	green	square	4
C	blue	square	3
D	green	circle	1

Try it

Choose a rule: color, shape or number.
Group the cards using that rule.
Tell a partner which feature you used.
Try a different rule. What changes?

Observe and reflect

Record two ways to group the cards

Round	My rule	Groups I made	Why this works
1	__________________	__________________	__________________
2	__________________	__________________	__________________

Discuss together

Can two different groupings both follow clear rules?
Which information helped you explain your choice?
What would you ask if a card did not fit your rule?

Teacher notes

Review the examples and learning aim before use. Change the card data, questions and writing space for your class. Check the printed result for legibility.
