SAME AND DIFFERENT SORTING ACTIVITIES - Mrs. Jones Creation Station - Free Printable

Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific pictures in your uploaded image. However, based on the description of the worksheet you provided — "Which two pictures are identical?" with boxes containing pairs of drawings (like wagons, cups, backpacks, and cupcakes) — I can guide you through how to solve this type of problem.

How to Solve This Type of Problem:

1. Look at Each Pair of Pictures Carefully:
- Compare each pair of images in the boxes.
- Pay attention to details like:
- Shape
- Size
- Position of parts (e.g., handle on a backpack)
- Decorations (e.g., sprinkles on cupcakes)
- Accessories (e.g., straw in a cup)

2. Find the Two That Are Exactly the Same:
- The task is to identify which two pictures are identical, meaning they look exactly alike in every detail.
- One of the pairs will be different from the others.

3. Color Them:
- Once you’ve found the matching pair, color both of them as instructed.

Example Analysis (based on common versions of this worksheet):

Let’s assume the images are:

- Top left: Two toy wagons — one has a flag, the other doesn’t → not identical
- Top right: Two drinks — both have straws, same shape, same lid → identical
- Middle left: Two wagons — both have flags, same design → identical? Wait, check again.
- Middle right: Two backpacks — one has a front pocket, the other doesn’t → not identical
- Bottom left: Two backpacks — both have similar shapes and pockets → possibly identical
- Bottom right: Two cupcakes — one has sprinkles, the other doesn’t → not identical

Wait — if only one pair is truly identical, then that’s the answer.

But in many versions of this worksheet, the correct matching pair is often:

✔ The two cups (top right) — both have the same shape, straw, and lid.

Or:

✔ The two backpacks (bottom left) — both have the same design, straps, and pocket.

But you must compare carefully.

Final Step:

After comparing all pairs, circle or color the two pictures that are identical.

If you describe the differences or send a text version of the images (e.g., “first row: wagon with flag vs wagon without flag”), I can help you determine which pair matches exactly.

Would you like to describe the pictures so I can help you find the correct match?
