Longer and Heavier? Shorter and Heavier?
For many young children it seems obvious that longer objects are heavier than shorter objects. This assumption is put to the test as the class investigates the relationship between length and weight in a whole-group activity. Using a...

Compare Length and Height
In this comparing length and height word problem learning exercise, students compare drawings of objects visually to determine which is longer, longest, shorter, and shortest and make a chart to solve logical reasoning problems. Students...

Longer or Shorter Introduction
Students look at objects and compare them using the words longer or shorter. In this longer or shorter lesson plan, students compare 2 objects for each problem.

Measurement Vocabulary
Longer, shorter, inches, and feet are all vocabulary words that accompany the concept of measurement. Here are 16 slides that ask learners to determine which objects are longer or shorter than a given length. Great for 1st or 2nd graders!
Curated OER
Relations and Graphs
Here is a simple, yet clever lesson on how to teach the important concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to. Pupils write their names down on grid paper - one letter per box. They compare their names and find a name that is...

Geometric Shapes- Draw a Longer Version
In this geometric shape worksheet, 1st graders name each of three shapes in the first column of the worksheet. They draw the same shape in the space to the right, making the new shape longer than the original. They draw a rectangle, an...
Curated OER
Taller/Wider/longer
For this unit, 1st graders use measurement language and counting to compare objects in a variety of game situations. Students also practice the advanced concept of counting to advanced counting.

Indirect Length Word Problems - Matching Worksheet
First graders demonstrate their ability to compare the lengths of three objects and determine which is the longest or shortest. Pupils match the correct answer to each of the seven story problems. All lengths are expressed in metric units.
Kids Learning Station
Long and Short
Youngsters examine four sets of familiar images, circling the one that is short and underlining the one that is long. This is likely best done 1:1 with kids or as a big class, projecting the image for everyone to see.

Comparing Years
Who knew that the Egyptian, Julian, and Gregorian year were different lengths? Your mathematicians will! They will have to calculate the difference between the years in seconds and find the percent change. Using dimensional analysis,...

Measuring and Comparing Length
Students measure objects in the classroom. For this measurement lesson, students compare items using their height, use paper clips to measure things and record their findings.
Curated OER
Comparing and Ordering Numbers
Students compare, order, and measure objects. In this measurement lesson, students are assessed on their ability to order, compare, and measure objects. This is an assessment only lesson and does not include instruction.
