*Set the stage for the "Be a Sport" store - put a sign on the outside of your door, decorate your room, and/ or dress up like someone working at a sports apparel store.
*The items in the store are hats, Jersey, Baseball Cap, T-shirt, Running Shoes, Shorts, and Sweat Pant
*Copy and cut apart the paper manipulatives and put in clear bags.
*Demonstrate how to select exactly two items from the six choices. Emphasize that the two items may never be identical (e.g.: they cannot select two baseball hats at the same time).

*Once groups are finished, demonstrate how to represent all of the combinations using a chart or organized list.
*Have students create their own charts and/or organized lists to demonstrate their results.
