Let’s understand the idea.
- One object can have a length, a height, and a weight.
- Choose an attribute before you compare. Length tells how far from one end to the other; weight tells how heavy.
- Color describes an object too, but it does not tell its length or weight.
Something to notice
Invite the learner to describe at least two measurable attributes of one real object. Listen to their own words, not just their option choices.
Try it. Change it. Explain it.
Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.
You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
