Grouping into Categories Worksheet

Grouping into Categories provides two ways to complete the same classification task. Learners may draw lines from pictures to their matching category, or cut apart the pictures and labels to build physical groups. The four headings require attention to what each image represents rather than a superficial visual feature. A completed reference page shows the intended grouping. The flexible response format supports pencil work, small-group manipulation, or oral sorting with explicit category explanations.
