Compare Lengths by Measuring: what children learn
Comparing lengths means measuring both objects with the same kind of ruler, then comparing the two numbers. This joins measuring with the greater-than and less-than symbols.
Compare Lengths by Measuring: worked example
Bar A measures 6 on its ruler and bar B measures 4 on its ruler. >
6 is greater than 4, so bar A is longer than bar B.
Compare Lengths by Measuring: a common mistake to watch for
Kids sometimes compare which bar looks longer instead of measuring both bars.
Compare Lengths by Measuring: how to help at home or in class
Turn it into a toy race: line up two pencils, guess which is longer, then measure both and write the two numbers with a symbol between them. Cover one measurement and ask your child to say the comparison in a full sentence, such as the pencil is longer than the crayon. When the symbol is chosen from the numbers rather than by eye, your child is ready to work out how much longer.
