This task is about sorting and classifying tools and items based on which community helper uses them.
We have two mats:
- One for
Construction Worker
- One for
Firefighter
Each mat has a picture of the worker, and then several pictures of tools or items that belong to that job.
Let’s go step by step:
---
Construction Worker Mat:
The construction worker wears a hard hat and safety vest. They build things like houses and roads.
Items shown (and should be sorted here):
- Hammer → used to hit nails
- Drill → makes holes or drives screws
- Saw → cuts wood
- Bulldozer → moves dirt and heavy stuff on construction sites
- Tape measure → measures length
- Toolbox → holds all their tools
✔ All these belong to the Construction Worker.
---
Firefighter Mat:
The firefighter wears a helmet and special suit. They put out fires and rescue people.
Items shown (and should be sorted here):
- Fire → what they fight!
- Fire truck → vehicle they drive to emergencies
- Hose → sprays water to put out fires
- Ladder → helps reach high places
- Extinguisher → puts out small fires
- Boots → protective footwear for firefighters
✔ All these belong to the Firefighter.

There are no mixed-up items in this image — everything is already correctly placed under the right community helper.
So, if the task is to “sort and classify,” it means matching each tool/item to the correct worker. In this case, the mats are already set up correctly as examples.
If you were given loose cards, you’d match:
- Tools like hammer, drill, saw → Construction Worker
- Tools like hose, extinguisher, ladder → Firefighter
But since the image shows them already sorted, we just confirm they’re correct.
Final Answer:
All items are correctly sorted under their respective community helpers: Construction Worker and Firefighter.
