1.On scratch paper or postit notes, write the numbers from 1 to 10.

2.Choose a sort.Selection or Bubble.Whichever one you like.

3.First,Separate the numbers 1, 2, and 3 and put them in order of 3, 2.1. Sort this list and count how many operations are required.Consider each compare an operation and each move an operation.

At this point, predict how many operations it will take to sort 10 numbers.

4.Now separate the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Put them in reverse order as before (6,5,4,3,2,1).Sort this list and count how many operations it takes to perform the sort.

5.Now use all the numbers 1 through 10.Put them in reverse order and repeat the same exercise.

6.How close was your operational count estimate from step 3??

8.Submit the operational counts.
