## Activity 6.2: Let us group

### Question 1

*Activity*

Group the objects shown in Fig. 6.1 based on any common property, such as shape, colour, hardness, softness, shine, dullness or materials they are made up of.

**Solution**

1. Observe the objects shown in Fig. 6.1, such as keys, lock, scales, pencils, erasers, and clay pots.
2. Group them based on properties like materials they are made up of (metal, wood, plastic, clay), hardness, or shape.

**Answer:** Objects can be grouped into categories like metal objects, wooden objects, and plastic objects.

### Question 2

*2 marks · Very short answer*

Which property did you use to group the objects in Activity 6.2?

**Solution**

1. The objects were grouped based on the materials they are made up of, such as metal, plastic, wood, and clay.

**Answer:** We used the materials that the objects are made up of as the property to group them.

> Common mistake: Listing only the names of objects instead of the property used for grouping.

### Question 3

*2 marks · Very short answer*

Did your friends group objects based on similar properties?

**Solution**

1. Friends may or may not have grouped the objects based on the same properties, as objects can be classified in multiple ways such as by shape, colour, or hardness.

**Answer:** Not necessarily, because objects can be grouped based on various common properties like shape, colour, or texture.

> Common mistake: Assuming there is only one correct way to group objects.

### Question 4

*2 marks · Very short answer*

What did you learn from this activity?

**Solution**

1. We learned that an object can be made from different materials, and some materials can be used to make more than one object.

**Answer:** We learned about classification, discovering that objects can be made from different materials and a material can make various objects.

> Common mistake: Forgetting to mention that one material can make multiple objects and vice versa.
