Which One Doesn't Belong? SHAPES

This is a fantastic activity to get your students thinking, categorizing, and making a persuasive argument--all while learning about shapes.

Ask students to study the four images and decide which one doesn't belong. Each of these image groupings has been carefully designed so that a valid argument could be made for any one of the four images. Allow students to think critically and make a case. Students enjoy the activity and it serves as important practice in critical-thinking skills. This kind of logical-thinking is important in many careers--including STEM. If you are familiar with the game SET, the thinking process involved here is somewhat similar. The higher-order thinking applies not only to math (shapes) but also persuasive and opinion writing.

No prep is needed--just print (or project) and go! This is great for remote learning and distance learning as well as a bell ringer, warm up or morning work.
