Push or pull test
Set out a few toys: a wagon, a door, a ball, a drawer. Kids try moving each and decide: push or pull? Then they sort pictures the same way. Testing with their own hands makes the idea stick.
Why it works: the U.S. Department of Education's guide for teaching elementary math recommends moving from hands-on objects to drawings to numbers.
