What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
"Which one will not stick?" (four rows) has four rows of four labeled pictures, and in each row the child circles the one that does not belong. Row one is nail, key, clip and feather (off); row four is key, nail, screw and crayon (off). It practices predicting what a magnet picks up. An answer key is included.
Can I use this magnets worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for Preschool push, pull and float, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with magnets. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

These are written for preschool children, roughly ages 3-5. Start with the first few pages, use the free preview to judge the fit, and come back to harder ones as your child gets steadier.
Does my child need to know how to write for these magnets worksheets?
⌄
No. Most pages ask children to circle, trace, match, color, or cut and paste, and a few ask for a single number. A grown-up can read the instructions aloud, so children do not need to read yet.
