7

In the yellow part of the left circle said Sparrow we put down JustSparrow things In the blue part of the right circle Just Snake thingsThese are all ways in which Snake and Sparrow are DIFFERENT

Snake was puzzled I thought we wanted to think of ways in which weare SAME

9

Now she said How do wemove

In other words said SparrowI move like a plane and youmove like a train

10

Snake sighed

Cheer up Snake said Sparrow briskly Lets seenow what do we eat

VERY different things Snakes eyes filled withtears But I dont eat birds eggs

11

I know said Sparrow soothingly But now shelooked glum too

Seeds and grass she muttered as she drew themin the yellow crescent

Frogs and rats she sputtered and drew them inthe blue crescent

12

13

Harrrrrumph

SORT IT OUT

Sorting and grouping are important skills in mathematics To sortthings you have to ask yourself logic questions like

1 What things are same What things are different

2 How are the same things same How are different things different

3 Can the same things be sorted and grouped in more than one way

21

Think about the many ways in which you can sortand group these toy animals You can sort them

- According to their colour - blue animals in onecircle yellow in another

- According to their size - small animals in onecircle big ones in another

- According to how they move - animals that walkand animals that fly

Would the groups be different each time Try it andsee

SORT IT OUT

Sorting and grouping are important skills in mathematics To sortthings you have to ask yourself logic questions like

1 What things are same What things are different

2 How are the same things same How are different things different

3 Can the same things be sorted and grouped in more than one way

21

Think about the many ways in which you can sortand group these toy animals You can sort them

- According to their colour - blue animals in onecircle yellow in another

- According to their size - small animals in onecircle big ones in another
