INTEGRATED ACTIVITY
In order to promote relevant discussion, the following questions are posed by the
teacher to the students:
- What is “big” and what is “small”?
- Can something “big” look “small”?
- What is the “biggest”/ “smallest” object or item you can think of?
A short discussion takes place about the size of various objects and how we label
them “big” or “small” when we compare them to each other.
Explain to the students that today they are going to sort various objects in size
from Biggest to Smallest and from Smallest to Biggest
Task: Arrange the graphics in order from smallest to biggest and biggest
to smallest. Today the students will practice using their mouse skills to
