New Activity: Sort It Out
The new “Sort It Out” activity is making its debut today in our Middle School Math course and will soon be added to Middle School Science, as well as other courses. This is a data analysis activity where students review evidence and sort it into one of two categories.
- Math students, for example, may sort terms into rational or irrational number categories or sort transformations into rigid or non-rigid transformations.
- Science students analyze and interpret data by categorizing observations. For example, they may sort evidence by whether each observation “supports” or “does not support” a claim.
