Activity set-up
Activity set-up
Mark a central area and place 3D objects inside.
Each team has 2 or 3 hoops.
Teams establish sorting categories / rules for sorting objects, eg. objects with curved faces, objects with flat faces, objects with less than 8 edges.
How to play
How to play
Teams race to collect 3D objects to sort into categories.
Teams collect as many 3D objects as possible in the allotted time (e.g. 60 seconds).
One player runs to a central point to collect a shape or object and returns to their base placing the objects into a pile.
When all the objects and shapes have been removed from the centre, the coach calls ‘STOP!’
Teams sort their collection into categories according to the agreed rules.
Perform a gallery walk to observe other groups thinking.
Variations
Variations
Provide students with sorting categories.
Include 2D shapes in the sort.
Vary the locomotion.
