Big, bigger, biggest fun!
Kindergartners learn to compare two things and use the right words: bigger and smaller, taller and shorter, longer and shorter, heavier and lighter. They line objects up side by side to check, starting from the same end. Then they order three things from smallest to biggest. The click comes when kids learn that "big" is always compared to something: a dog is big next to a mouse but small next to an elephant!
Size is something kids can hold, stack and see, so we start with real things and add words as we go.
Hand each child a pencil, a crayon and a block. Ask them to line the ends up on the table edge and decide which is longest. Then they order them. Lining up from the same starting point is the habit that makes later measuring work.
Why it works: kids understand an idea best when they touch it, then draw it, then write it, the order the U.S. Department of Education recommends for elementary math.
Try it withSize ActivityActivitiesOpen it →Model full sentences: "The giraffe is taller than the dog." Then have partners hold up two classroom objects and say a sentence of their own. Kids who can say it can usually see it.
Why it works: when kids say the precise math words, their understanding gets sharper, a recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.
Try it withShort and Tall WorksheetWorksheetsOpen it →After kids have ordered real objects, move to pictures. Ask them to point and say the order before they cut or color. The jump from things to pictures goes smoothly when the words are already there.
Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).
