Which One Doesn’t Belong

In this activity, a visual image is displayed that has 4 quadrants. The job for the student is to identify which of the 4 images does not belong and explain why it doesn’t belong. A sample image is to the left.

There are multiple correct criteria that students can use to explain why one of the answers does not belong, so students can give different answers and share multiple reasons one of the images doesn’t belong.
