This product includes two different types of sorting activities. One set has full page size sorting mats for students to organize each plant picture. The second set has header cards in two sizes (one large sized for table top activities and a smaller size that can fit inside a task box). The picture cards work with both sets of sorting activities.
Posters, Anchor Charts and Answer Keys
This set also includes a set of posters or anchor charts. These charts can be used to check the answers of the pictures sorted or as an instructional tool to teach about the plants we eat before students begin the sorting activity. These posters also allow teachers to differentiate this activity for students. Those who need more support can use these posters as a guide to filling out their sorting mats.
How to Use:
Students will place the sorting mats on a table or on the floor. They will look at each plant picture and place it on the correct mat.
