Comparing and Measuring focuses on activities that young children enjoy on their own - finding out who's taller, what's longer, and what's farther. The explorations provide a solid groundwork for understanding that measuring is based on comparing and that the use of standard units enables people to work with and communicate size comparisons effectively.
The activities in Comparing and Measuring move students in steps from the concrete toward the more representational. Students make general comparisons and observe that size is a common criterion on which comparisons are based.
