1.Sort out (exercise at attention)
Cut off a head by scissors from 54 matches. Take 18 of them and cut them in half. The remaining 36 large matches decomposed into 3 a handful of 12 matches. On 12 matches, you write a red lines, while the other 12 – blue, while the third – the black. Take the first 12; spend one red transverse line on 4, on the other 4 – two lines, on the third of 4 – three lines. It is also necessary to hold lines of blue and then black. Now take the 36 smaller match, and repeat to them the same as with 36 large. The material for sorting is ready. After sorting matches of the same size, with the same number of strips of one color must be in each pile. So you get 18 piles. This is a useful exercise, as well-developed attention. Just right away separate matches into 18 piles is not easy. Much easier first solve them on a handful of 2 – a separate large and small matches. Then each of these large piles – on 3 one depending on the color of lines, just get 6 piles. Now each of the 6 piles decomposed into 3 handful depending on the number of lines. This way you will have 18 piles. 3-4 persons may use this set of matches one after the other. They noticed on the clock, who quickly coped with the task, and try to equal it.
