Directions
- Put students in a line. Ask them to rearrange themselves according to the dates of their birthdays. The one nearest to the first of January at one end, the one nearest to the 31st of December at he other. Each one should find out which number his is within the class. Third? Tenth? Sixteenth?
- Put them into groups of 5-10 and ask them to find as many other ways of ranking themselves in order as they can. For example, length of name, distance we travel each morning to get to school. Then the groups tell each other some of their more original ideas for rankings and the order they put themselves in.
