Classifying means grouping using a clear criterion.

Classifying items into distinct categories based on shared attributes.
Explanation of category, feature, attribute, criteria.
These images teach us how to group things together and look at specific details to tell them apart. It is all about using logic to bring order to a messy world.
To classify is to put something into a specific group. The orange is being pushed away from the fruit bowl because it is dressed like a basketball and belongs in a sports group instead.This means sorting a big mess into smaller, matching piles. The spoon is running away from the socks to join the other spoons where it belongs.A category is a group where everything shares the same main idea. One mug stands alone because it does not fit into the group of mugs that all have faces.
A feature is a special part of something that stands out. The mug has a large, strong arm attached to it to show a very noticeable and powerful part of its design.This is a natural quality that makes something what it is. The cactus is covered in sharp spikes, which is the main quality we expect a cactus to have.An attribute is a specific detail you can measure or see. The black circle has a ruler, a color palette, and a scale to show its height, color, and weight.Criteria are the rules used to make a choice. The round cookie is allowed through the round door, but the square cracker is left out because it does not fit the rule.Match classify/categorize/feature/criteria to their definitions.
