Let’s solve this step by step.
We have a group of cars. The task is to sort them in two different ways:
1. By color — into “Pink and Blue Cars” and “Red Cars”
2. By size — into “Big Cars” and “Small Cars”
We’ll go row by row and decide where each car belongs.

Top Section: Sort by Color
We have 5 cars in the middle column (the ones we need to sort):
- Row 1: Big red car → goes to “Red Cars”
- Row 2: Small red car → goes to “Red Cars”
- Row 3: Big blue car → goes to “Pink and Blue Cars”
- Row 4: Small pink car → goes to “Pink and Blue Cars”
- Row 5: Small red car → goes to “Red Cars”
Wait — let’s double-check the image layout.
Actually, looking again:
In the top half (color sorting), there are 5 cars to sort:
From top to bottom:
1. Large red car → Red Cars
2. Small red car → Red Cars
3. Large blue car → Pink and Blue Cars
4. Small pink car → Pink and Blue Cars
5. Small red car → Red Cars
But wait — that’s only 5? Let me count again.
Actually, the worksheet shows:
Left side: “Pink and Blue Cars” box with dotted lines pointing to cars that belong there.
Right side: “Red Cars” box with dotted lines pointing to cars that belong there.
The cars to sort are in the center column, 5 total:
1. Top: big red car → Red
2. Second: small red car → Red
3. Third: big blue car → Pink/Blue
4. Fourth: small pink car → Pink/Blue
5. Fifth: small red car → Red
So:
→ Pink and Blue Cars: big blue car, small pink car → 2 cars
→ Red Cars: big red, small red, small red → 3 cars
That matches the boxes on the sides — the left box has 2 cars already drawn (a small pink and a big blue), and the right box has 3 cars (two small reds and one big red). So yes, correct.

Bottom Section: Sort by Size
Now we sort the same 5 cars by size: Big vs Small.
Cars to sort (same 5):
1. Big red car → Big Cars
2. Small red car → Small Cars
3. Big blue car → Big Cars
4. Small pink car → Small Cars
5. Small red car → Small Cars
So:
→ Big Cars: big red, big blue → 2 cars
→ Small Cars: small red, small pink, small red → 3 cars
Again, check the side boxes:
Left: “Big Cars” box has 2 cars drawn (big blue and big red) → matches
Right: “Small Cars” box has 3 cars drawn (small red, small pink, small red) → matches
Perfect.

Final sorting:
By Color:
- Pink and Blue Cars: big blue car, small pink car
- Red Cars: big red car, small red car, small red car
By Size:
- Big Cars: big red car, big blue car
- Small Cars: small red car, small pink car, small red car
All cars are sorted correctly in both categories.
Final Answer:
Sort the cars as follows:
For color: Put the big blue and small pink cars under “Pink and Blue Cars”; put the big red and two small red cars under “Red Cars”.
For size: Put the big red and big blue cars under “Big Cars”; put the small red, small pink, and other small red cars under “Small Cars”.
