Find the tallest first and write 1 under it. The shortest gets 3, and the one left gets 2. Check that the heights go down step by step.
tallestreaches highest of all
shortestthe least tall or long of all
biggestthe largest of all
orderplace things one after another by size
Watch for: Starting at the wrong end and writing 1 under the shortest. Giving two things the same number. Judging length by thickness instead of where the right ends reach.
At home: Line up three shoes, spoons or stuffed toys from biggest to smallest. Mix them up and let your child put them back in order.
