Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 26

Let's sort buttons! Buttons can be different colors, sizes, and shapes, and have 2 holes or 4 holes.
These buttons are sorted by shape: round buttons in Group 1, square buttons in Group 2.
Cloth can be sorted too, by color or by pattern: plain, striped, or dotted.
When you sort, choose a rule, and use it for every one.
Try it with a grown-up! Sort a jar of buttons or a pile of socks. Then sort them a different way!
