My Sorting Book

Today you are a real Data Scientist! 🔬

Sort → Count → Graph → Share

You will do ALL FOUR steps today!

Look How Far We've Come! 🌟

In 8 sessions, you learned to:

1

Observe

Look carefully at things and describe them

2

Sort

Put things into groups using a rule

3

Count

Find out how many are in each group

4

Ask & Graph

Ask a question and show the answers on a graph

And you learned to READ graphs and say what you FOUND OUT!

Your Mystery Bag 🎒

DO NOT OPEN YET! 🛑

Inside your bag are mixed-up objects.

Your job: figure out what is inside

and make a graph that shows what you found!

When your teacher says GO — open your bag! 🟢

Step 1: SORT 📦

Spread out ALL your objects.

Look at them carefully. What do you notice?

Choose ONE sort rule:

Color?    Shape?    Size?    Texture?

Put objects into groups.

Each object belongs in ONE group.

Draw each group on your worksheet!

Step 2: COUNT 🔢

Count how many are in each group.

Touch each one as you count: 1, 2, 3…

Write the NUMBER

5

Write it big in the box!

Draw DOTS

● ● ●
● ●

One dot = one object

Do this for EVERY group in your bag.

Step 3: MAKE A GRAPH 📊

Draw your pictograph on the worksheet.

Group 1



4 objects
Group 2


3 objects
Group 3

2 objects

One star (or dot or smiley!) = one object.

Label each column with the group name.

Step 4: SHARE 🎤

Use a sentence frame to say what you found:

"We found out that ."
"The most is ."
"I notice that ."

Fill in ONE frame on your worksheet.

Then you will share it with the class!

🟢

TIME TO WORK!

Open your bag. Follow the steps.

Sort → Count → Graph → Fill in a sentence frame

If you finish early: sort your bag a DIFFERENT way!

🕺 Brain Break: Data Dance!

When I say the word — do the action!

SORT!
Move left or right!
COUNT!
Count on your fingers!
GRAPH!
Draw a column in the air!
FOUND OUT!
Point to your head!

Share Time! 🎤

Who wants to share what they found?

"We found out that ."

You can share by:

👋 Saying it out loud

👆 Pointing to your worksheet

🖊️ Having a friend read it for you

ALL ways of sharing count! 🌟

You Are a Data Scientist! 🔬

🔍

Data scientists…

look carefully at the world

collect information

sort and count

make graphs

share what they find

YOU did all of that!

In 8 sessions you learned

every single skill a

data scientist uses.

That's amazing!
