Introduce this worksheet by creating a list of ideas of how objects can be sorted. Ask students to share out ideas for different groupings. Next, give students clues about different objects you are thinking about. Be sure to make the clue vague so multiple objects could fit. For example, “A large, gray mammal”. Then, students complete the worksheet independently or with a partner. Finally, have students explain why they sorted the terms in that specific way. Once students are finished, challenge students to add more objects to each category.
