How to help

Look at how high each tower reaches. Tall towers stand high; short ones stay low.

Watch for: Circling every tower instead of just the tall ones. Mixing up tall and short when the sheet switches.

At home: Build block towers together and say which is tall and which is short. Talk about heavy and light too.
