Questions about Which Group?

What does the Which Group? worksheet cover?

It practices sorting words into the group they belong to — 3 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core L.K.5: Sort words into groups and notice how words with close meanings differ. The instruction to students is “Sort each word into the right column”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Which Group? practice?

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.5 — L.K.5, under Language for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “With guidance and support from adults, explore word relationships and nuances in word meanings.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Which Group? is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on L.K.5, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Which Group? come with an answer key?

Yes. All 3 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Which Group? can I print?

25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.

Is Which Group? free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Which Group?, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
