What will you teach it?

Set A · one colour per shape
These are teaching pictures. The five test pictures below stay separate.
Same test. New examples.
Predict what the sorter will call a blue circle. Test Set A, then switch to Set B and test again.
Choose a teaching set, then run the five test pictures.
Five pictures it hasn’t been taught
The last circle is partly covered. The answers are prepared to show what can improve and what can still go wrong.

Teaching examples affect what a sorter appears to learn. Keeping the test pictures separate makes the comparison more useful. Better examples can reduce mistakes without removing every one.
Now try this…
Test both sets. Which pictures changed from wrong to right? What extra test would help you understand the partly covered circle?
