Sorting: put the steps in order
Sorting is a Sendsteps question type. Students arrange items in a sequence. You see whether the group has the order of a process, a timeline, or a priority list, without one student at the board.
How it feeds the loop
Order is a Validate check on sequence, not only on isolated facts. A pattern of swapped steps is a signal for Improve. AI recommends, teachers decide.
Questions about Sorting
Frequently asked questions about Sorting in Sendsteps
What is Sorting in Sendsteps?
Sorting is a question type in Engage. Students put items in an order you set as correct or as a preference. The group answers on their own devices.
Can I set a correct order?
Yes, when the sequence is part of understanding. You can also use it as a preference ranking without a single right list.
Do quieter students have to speak?
No. Everyone answers on their own device. Equal voice for every student, not only the hands that go up.
Can the answers feed Validate?
Yes. The sequences belong to the lesson. Validate can include them as evidence of who had the order.
