Sorting activity - by Feature Function and Classification

This downloadable PDF educational activity can help learners develop their sorting and classification skills. In this activity, learners are presented with a set of picture cards that have different pictures that vary in shape, size, color, and other features, and are asked to sort them based on specific criteria.

For example, learners may be asked to sort a set of cards based on their function. This could include things we drink, things we ride in.

Another way to approach this exercise is by sorting based on their features. For instance, learners may be given a card "Things with fur" and "Things with wings" then given a set of 12 individual cards 6 cards with pictures of things with fur and another 6 cards with pictures of things that have wings. This helps learners develop their ability to observe and categorize objects based on their physical characteristics.

In addition to sorting by features and function, learners may also be asked to sort by classification.

Overall, the "Sorting by Feature, Function and Classification" exercise is an engaging and effective way to help learners develop their critical thinking skills, classification abilities, and attention to detail.
