Step-by-step solution for: Matching Objects with their functions - Activity Sheet
The image shows a "Object and Its Function Matching Activity Sheet" designed for children to learn about everyday objects and their purposes. The task is to match each object with the picture that best describes its function.
Let's go through the right-hand side of the worksheet, which appears to be the main focus:
---
1. Hairbrush
2. Scissors
3. Pen
---
1. A boy brushing his teeth at a sink.
2. A child cutting paper with scissors.
3. A girl writing or drawing with a pen.
---
Now, let’s match each object to its correct function based on common usage:
1. Hairbrush → The correct function would be grooming hair. However, none of the pictures show someone brushing their hair. The closest might be the boy at the sink, but that’s tooth brushing — not relevant.
✘ Wait — this suggests a possible error in the worksheet, or perhaps we’re missing a matching option.
But looking again: The left column has only three objects, and the right column has three images. So likely, all are intended to match.
Let’s re-express:
---
- Hairbrush → Should go with someone brushing hair. But the right-side images don’t show that.
- Scissors → Should go with someone using scissors to cut something. The second image shows a child cutting paper — ✔ perfect match.
- Pen → Should go with writing/drawing. The third image shows a girl writing — ✔ perfect match.
- First image: Boy brushing teeth → This matches toothbrush, but there is no toothbrush listed.
Wait — the left side has a hairbrush, but no toothbrush.
So what’s going on?
Ah! There may be an error in the image display or layout.
Looking back at the left page, we see other objects like:
- Car
- Spoon and bowl
- Candle
- Basket
And corresponding images: people eating, driving, lighting a candle, etc.
But on the right sheet, it seems like only three items are shown: hairbrush, scissors, pen.
And the images are:
1. Brushing teeth
2. Cutting paper
3. Writing
So likely, the intended matches are:
- Scissors → Child cutting paper ✔
- Pen → Girl writing ✔
- Hairbrush → ??? — but no one is brushing hair.
Wait — maybe the first image (boy brushing teeth) is meant to be matched with a toothbrush, but the object shown is a hairbrush — mismatch.
This implies either:
- A mistake in the activity sheet, or
- We're seeing only part of the full sheet.
But since the instruction says "Match each object with the picture that best describes its function," and we have 3 objects and 3 pictures, let's assume they are intended to be paired correctly.
Let’s consider what object goes with each picture:
1. Boy brushing teeth → This requires a toothbrush, not a hairbrush.
2. Child cutting paper → Needs scissors ✔
3. Girl writing → Needs pen ✔
So unless the hairbrush is mistakenly placed, the only logical matches are:
- Scissors → Child cutting paper
- Pen → Girl writing
- Hairbrush → ??? — no suitable image
But perhaps the first image is mislabeled? Or maybe the object list includes a toothbrush, but it's not visible?
Alternatively, perhaps the hairbrush is supposed to match with a person combing hair — but that image isn't present.
---
There appears to be a mismatch in the worksheet as presented. The hairbrush does not have a corresponding function image (e.g., someone brushing hair), while the toothbrush is implied in the first image but not listed as an object.
However, if we assume the objects are:
- Hairbrush
- Scissors
- Pen
Then the correct matches should be:
✔ Scissors → Image of child cutting paper
✔ Pen → Image of girl writing
✘ Hairbrush → No matching image (problematic)
But wait — perhaps the first image is not brushing teeth? Let's look closely.
Actually, the boy is holding a toothbrush and standing at a sink — so clearly toothbrush use.
Therefore, either:
- The object list should include a toothbrush, not a hairbrush, or
- The image should show someone brushing hair.
Given the context, it's likely that the object on the left is actually a toothbrush, not a hairbrush.
But the image clearly shows a blue hairbrush with bristles — not a toothbrush.
So unless there's a typo or error in the worksheet, this is confusing.
---
Assuming the objects are correct and the images are correct, here’s the best possible matching:
| Object | Correct Match (Function) |
|---------------|------------------------------------|
| Hairbrush | ✘ No matching image (should be someone brushing hair) |
| Scissors | ✔ Child cutting paper |
| Pen | ✔ Girl writing |
But since the first image shows tooth brushing, and no toothbrush is listed, there’s likely a mistake in the worksheet.
---
To make the worksheet accurate, either:
1. Replace the hairbrush with a toothbrush, or
2. Replace the tooth-brushing image with one showing someone brushing hair.
Otherwise, the activity is flawed.
---
- ✔ Scissors → Child cutting paper
- ✔ Pen → Girl writing
- ✘ Hairbrush → No matching image (error)
Conclusion: The worksheet has a mismatch. It should either include a toothbrush or change the image to show hair brushing. As is, only two matches are valid.

Let's go through the right-hand side of the worksheet, which appears to be the main focus:
---
Objects on the Left Side (to be matched):
1. Hairbrush
2. Scissors
3. Pen
---
Pictures on the Right Side (possible functions):
1. A boy brushing his teeth at a sink.
2. A child cutting paper with scissors.
3. A girl writing or drawing with a pen.
