Taller, shorter, bigger, smaller





Our Mathematicians explored items around the room that are shorter, taller, bigger and smaller than the towers we built.  Today, we pushed our thinking by finding two true statements we could make using opposite words in our statements: The stapler is taller than my tower.  My tower is shorter than the stapler.  Talk to your child about the size of objects around the house, encourage them to make a statement they think is true about the objects and then test out those thoughts by comparing the items.
