Part to Whole Analogies
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Part to Whole Analogies" is written for 6th Grade (Ages 11-12), and it covers Common Core L.6.5.B. If your student is a year younger but already steady here, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and analogies never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Complete 12 part to whole analogies like finger is to hand as toe is to foot. The directions on the page read: Read each analogy. Decide how the first two words are related. Then circle the word that replaces the question mark and completes the analogy in the same way. An answer key is included.
Can I use this analogies worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 6th 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.
What is a part to whole analogy?
⌄
One word is a part of the other, like petal and flower or page and book. Part to Whole Analogies has 12 items with 4 choices each.
What do the codes TW, WT and WP mean?
⌄
On Tool, Worker and Product Analogies, TW means tool to worker, WT means worker to tool and WP means worker to product. Baker is to bread is WP.
How do students check synonym and antonym analogies?
⌄
They circle S or A for each pair. Hot is to cold is an antonym pair, so early pairs with late.
