ClassificationsCharacteristicsVisual PerceptionThe idea is to form "sets" from the cards
shown. Each card contains shapes with characteristics drawn from four categories. Each category contains three different possible appearances.
HOW TO PLAY SETSThe four categories are: Color (Red, Green, or Purple) Shape (Circle, Diamond, or Squiggle) Number (One, Two, or Three) Shading (Filled, Striped, or Empty) For 3 cards to form a set, they must be all
different or all alike within each category. To test 3 cards for a set, look at each category individually.
