Great Work to Utilize for Small Groups run by a substitute or a paraprofessional. This starts to become independent work the older the students get.

I've used these sorting maps in a variety of ways—whole group games, file folder tasks, and even scavenger hunts with the pieces. I love that my students can easily engage with the activity and demonstrate their understanding independently, thanks to its clear and visually appealing design.

Loved this resource for teaching the four food groups to my students. They were able to identify foods in each of the food groups. I didn't use the fats I just the basic ones. This will aide in mealing planning when we get to that.
