Here's a math warm-up I will be doing with my kids when we start our Attributes and Sorting unit.
It's really great for eliciting discussion and teaching kids how to express differing opinions respectfully. What's the right answer? Well, clearly, the milk does not belong because it is not a school supply. But wait--it must be the scissors, because they are not a liquid. Hmmm...
There are 5 problems included--all with multiple possibilities for answers!
