About this resource
Description
This same different sports worksheet helps first graders practice comparing and contrasting by looking closely at sports objects. Noticing what is alike and what has changed is a key reading skill, because good readers compare characters, events and details all the time. Children start with pictures they know well, like balls, gloves, caps and skates, so they can focus on the thinking.
In Part A, students look at five rows of sports pictures. Every row shows four copies of one object, and one copy is different because of its color, its size or the way it faces. Students circle the one that is different. In Part B, they compare a basketball and a soccer ball and write one way they are the same and one way they are different. Use the page in reading centers, morning work or small groups.
What’s Included
- Five rows of colorful sports pictures to compare
- A short compare and contrast writing task with Same and Different lines
- Large pictures and roomy writing lines for 1st grade
- An answer key on the final page with sample answers for Part B
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it trains visual attention to detail, which supports careful reading. Second, it introduces the language of comparing with clear, simple tasks, so children learn to name likenesses and differences. Third, the short writing task moves students from spotting differences to explaining them, the same step a 1st grade compare and contrast worksheet asks for with stories and texts.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, hold up two real objects and ask children to tell one thing that is the same and one thing that is different. After the page, let students pick two sports they like and compare them out loud. Pair this same different sports worksheet with the other Which is Different pages for extra practice.
