Math Worksheets and Lesson Plans - Attributes
Attributes Grade Level: Kindergarten Lesson Objectives/Description: The student will be able to sort attritubte blocks by size, color, shape and thickness. Materials/Preparation: three hula hoops, set of attribute blocks Activity: Show the students two of the hula hoops which lay on the floor to make a Venn diagram. Use two colors of the attribute blocks to sort them by color, then add the third hula hoop and label each hoop with "blue", "thick" and "triange" - have the students sort the shapes until they discover that in the middle the only shapes that fit in are the thick, blue trianges. It's a great way to see how things are alike and different and really helps teach compare/contrast and the students love to place their shape on the Venn Diagram. Assessment/Extensions: After learning how to sort using a Venn Diagram, the students can compare/contrast characters in stories, students in the class, clothes, etc. Any additional Comments: It's one my students' favorite activities. They never tire of using the Venn diagrams.
