Hazel is the classroom supply helper today. The teacher asked her to sort new markers before art. The class lines up in six minutes for recess. Hazel has sorted half, but two marker boxes do not match any bin.
Choose one option and give one practical reason.
- Sort the markers that do match, then tell the teacher about the two boxes before lining up.
- Stop sorting now and ask the teacher where the two boxes should go.
Give one practical reason for the choice.
