What children will practise

Classify polygons by the length of their sides (indicator ค 2.2 ป.2/1), and sort numbers by a rule: in the 2 times table or not, above or below 50, and sums that make exactly 10.

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting questions, drag items into two boxes - A square and an equilateral triangle go in "all sides equal" - 6 and 10 are in the 2 times table; 7 and 15 are not - 32 and 45 are less than half a hundred; 68 and 81 are more - 5 + 5 and 7 + 3 make exactly 10; 4 + 5 and 6 + 5 do not

How to use it in class

Use as an end-of-lesson review, 6-8 minutes. In team mode, pupils take turns dragging one card each. - For the shapes question, have shape cards or a ruler ready so pupils can check the sides - For half a hundred, first ask "What is half of a hundred?" and settle on 50 before sorting - Afterwards, ask pupils to find classroom objects whose sides are all equal - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- Putting the rectangle in "all sides equal" because opposite sides match. Stress that every side must be the same length - Unsure about the right-angled triangle since there is no picture. Draw one on the board and explain that "sides not equal" means not all sides equal: a right-angled triangle can have two equal sides, but never all three - "Half a hundred" is unfamiliar wording; some compare with 100 instead of 50 and misplace 68
