What's the answer to this math question?

[QuestionableMouse]

It's stumped a half my nephew's class and I have no idea either 😂

Randomly?

I think Annie has made up her own rules

Sorted them into columns or boxes of 1, 2 or 3?

That's how I feel 😂

There's a reason I studied English 😂

I don’t understand the question. What are the options to choose from for group sorting?

What do the other questions look like?
What age is it aimed at?

I think she has too 😁

Just a guess though because it looks like the top answer in 3 groups of 3, so I'm guessing it's supposedly to be quite simple answers?

By shape?

One has equal groups and the other has unequal groups.

The worksheet is white rose maths, and is called something like ‘sorting equal and unequal groups’ hope that helps!

This one confused me when my DS had it.

There are the same number and type of shape in each little box in the second circle... I think...

She’s put them all inside circles?

She sorted them by shape.

Year two.

No idea - and I'm a teacher and have always been pretty good at maths!

Annie is an idiot

Yes equal groups vs unequal as a pp said surely

Ahhh, well done. That makes much more sense.

All the blocks on the right have the same number (1, 1, 1, 1, 1) (2, 2, 2, 2) (3, 3, 3) and the ones on the left are mixed (2, 3, 2), (2, 2, 1), (3, 3, 3, 2)

Thanks! I said that but I think we were all looking for a more complicated answer. 😁

I think this is the video that matches the sheet -

Say what you see. To quote that bloke off Catchphrase. Not AntandDecClone, the first one.

Is this one of those things where the answer is so dumbly simple its hard?

As flipflop says, she's taken all the blaocks with equal numbers of shapes in each division and put them in the right hand circle, and all the clocks with unequal numbers of shapes are in the left hand circle.

Right hand circle:
3x3 hearts
2x2 crosses
5x1 triangles

Left hand circle:
2,2,1 hearts
3,3,2,3 squares
2,3,2 crosses

Funny how it can take so long to spot the obvious, isn't it? I was getting close to "she made it up as she went along" before I realised

Nerd! 😂
