Overview
In this chapter, we learn how to compare and measure things around us. We use words like tall, short, long, thin, thick, heavy, light, near, far, and more to describe objects. We also learn how to measure length, weight, and capacity using simple tools like our hands, feet, or everyday objects like
Key Concepts
We use these words to compare
We use these words to compare the height of people or things. For example, a giraffe is taller than a dog, so the giraffe is the tallest.
We can measure how long something
We can measure how long something is using our hand span, foot span, or even pencils. For example, a table may be 5 pencils long.
Heavy things are hard to lift
Heavy things are hard to lift, like a school bag. Light things are easy to lift, like a feather. We compare objects to find which is heavier or lighte
Capacity tells us how much
Capacity tells us how much a container can hold. A jug holds more water than a cup, so it has more capacity.
Near means close to us
Near means close to us, and far means away from us. For example, a ball on the floor is near, but a bird in the sky is far.
