Comparing two things to see which is longer or shorter, and which tower is tallest.

Make a sheetDownload PDFThe PDF has this sheet, its answer key and a guide for grown-ups.

How to help

Look at where each one starts and where it ends: the one that reaches further is longer. For towers, the one reaching highest is tallest.

Watch for: Picking the thicker one, like a fat crayon, instead of the longer one. Going by real life (pencils are longer than crayons) instead of the picture. Circling the shorter one when the row asks for the longer one.

At home: Hold two spoons, shoes or crayons side by side with their ends lined up. Ask which is longer, then which is shorter.
