Mix 'n Match: Sorting
Sorting Fun teaches the student to classify objects by shape and
color. On the lower levels, the program can be set to be solved
according to either shape or color, or may randomly alternate
between shape and color. On the higher levels, the problems are
solved by shape and color together.
On each level the program presents an object and several "bins". The
student determines in which bin the object belongs and selects the
matching number. The object is moved to the selected bin and the
match/mismatch is demonstrated for the student. After 10 objects
have been sorted, the program starts again with a new set of bins.
On the highest level, the "null set" (objects that don’t belong in
any of the pictured bins) is represented by a trash can in the lower
corner of the screen. If a match is not found for the object on the
screen, the student presses "0" to try the trash can. If the student
is correct, the object falls into the trash can. If not, the student
is corrected and given another chance to find the correct match.

Levels of Difficulty
Level 1
The student matches the color or shape presented. All bins have either the same
color or the same shape, and the student uses the other determinant to sort the
objects.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
The student sorts objects of different shape by color or objects of
different color by shape. The bins still have a single color or
shape, but the objects to be sorted come in different colors and
shapes. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3
The student must match both the color and the shape of the presented
object. 3 different colors and 3 different shapes combine to provide
9 bins for sorting.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 4
The student must match both the color and the shape of the presented
object. The objects for which there is no match must be placed into
the "null set".
