Symmetry, decimals and units sorting

An AR classroom game for Grade 4. Learners can aim with their hands at the camera or play by tapping the screen.

This set has 4 rounds in an interactive sorting activity.

Curriculum indicatorค 1.1 ป.4/5

A look before you play

Sample questions

A few real prompts from the game to help you choose an activity for your class.

  1. Sort the shapes into groups.

    Sort into

    • has a line of symmetry
    • no line of symmetry
    • square
    • the letter F
    • circle
    • the letter R
    Read the explanation

    Count the lines of symmetry in each shape.

  2. Sort the numbers into groups.

    Sort into

    • divides exactly by 4
    • does not divide exactly by 4
    • 124
    • 126
    • 240
    • 250
    Read the explanation

    A number divides by four exactly when its last two digits do.

  3. Sort the sums into groups.

    Sort into

    • written as a fraction
    • written as a decimal
    • 1/2
    • 0.5
    • 3/4
    • 0.75
    Read the explanation

    Fractions and decimals are two ways of writing the same value.

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

End-of-P4 review: sort shapes with and without a line of symmetry, numbers that divide exactly by 4, the fraction and decimal forms of the same values (indicator ค 1.1 ป.4/5), and small versus large units.

What's in the worksheet

4 sorting questions with 2 boxes each - Square and circle have a line of symmetry; the letters F and R do not - 124 and 240 divide exactly by 4; 126 and 250 do not - 1/2 and 3/4 are written as fractions; 0.5 and 0.75 as decimals - Gram and centimetre are small units; kilogram and kilometre are large

How to use it in class

Use as an end-of-year review game, 5-6 minutes, team mode. - For symmetry, give teams paper to write F and R and fold them both ways - For dividing by 4, teach the last-two-digits check: for 124 look at 24, then ask 4 times what is 24 - After Q3, notice that 1/2 and 0.5 are the same value - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book

Common sticking points

- Thinking R has a horizontal line of symmetry because it looks like B. Fold real paper - Putting 126 under "divides by 4" because it is even. Point out that even numbers divide by 2 but not necessarily by 4 - Putting 250 under exact because it ends in 0, which is the rule for 10, not 4
