Sorting Objects Worksheet – Group by Category

Sorting Objects Worksheet combines category membership with counting. Learners use the letters attached to twelve pictures to place three items in each of four groups—animals, plants, vehicles, and people—then write the number of objects assigned to every group. A checking page identifies the letter set and total for each category, preserving both parts of the task and allowing the classification and counting responses to be reviewed independently.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Classify pictured objects as animals, plants, vehicles, or people
Use letter codes to record category membership
Count and write the total number of objects in each group

Teaching tips

Have learners name each picture before using its letter in a category group.
Complete all four letter sets before counting, so the totals reflect the finished classification.
Compare the recorded letters and totals separately with the checking page; a correct total does not by itself prove correct membership.

Skills covered

Object classification — twelve pictures are divided among four semantic categories.
Symbol recording — picture letters are transferred into the matching group spaces.
Category counting — learners total the members assigned to animals, plants, vehicles, and people.
