What this lesson teaches

Some words belong in the same group. We can sort words by what they are like.

Worked examples

Example 1

Apple, banana, and grape all go together, because they are all fruits.

Example 2

Hammer, saw and screwdriver go together, because they are all tools.

Example 3

Hot and cold are opposites; warm sits between them. Some words are on a line, not in a box.

Practice questions

  1. Name three animals that go in one group.
  2. Tell what apple and orange have in common.
  3. Sort these: dog, shoe, cat. Which two match?

Palabras que Van Juntas

Algunas palabras pertenecen al mismo grupo. Podemos ordenar palabras por cómo son.

Ejemplo 1: Manzana, plátano y uva van juntas, porque todas son frutas.

Ejemplo 2: Martillo, serrucho y desarmador van juntos, porque todos son herramientas.

Ejemplo 3: Caliente y frío son opuestos; tibio queda en medio. Algunas palabras están en una línea, no en una caja.
