      1. Gather 15 different coins from your home (1-rupee, 2-rupee, 5-rupee, etc.). 2. Spread them out on a table. 3. Sort the coins by color first (gold, silver). 4. Then sort them by size (smallest to largest). 5. Count how many coins are in each category and record the results. 6. Share your sorted piles with a family member — which sorting method was easier?
