Object and Use Analogies

Before choosing a word, have your child say the link between the first pair as a full sentence. If an answer is wrong, test it by saying the second pair the same way. Check with the answer key.

Complete object and use analogies, like calculator is to compute, from a word bank. An analogy shows that two pairs of words are related in the same way. In an object and use analogy, the second word tells what you do with the first. The directions on the page read: Read each analogy. Then, write a word from the bank to complete it. The page opens with a worked example, and the answer key shows every answer.

Yes, both. We made it for 4th Grade analogies, 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. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

An analogy shows that two pairs of words are related in the same way. Hot is to cold as up is to down works because both pairs are opposites. The skill is finding the link in the first pair and applying it to the second.

Have your child say the link as a sentence: a page is part of a book, so a petal is part of a flower. Saying it out loud turns a puzzle into a pattern. These sheets start with one kind of link per page before mixing them.

CCSS L.4.5.C asks students to relate words to their synonyms and antonyms, which is exactly what synonym and antonym analogies practice. Part to whole and object and use analogies build the same reasoning and appear on many reading tests.

Yes. All four analogies sheets have an answer key.
