In the eyes of children the world is a simple place, objects are either big or small. This simple activity aims to expand the comparison language of young mathematicians as they use the words taller and shorter to compare their height with that of their peers. An engaging primary grade math lesson that gets students out of their seats and working collaboratively to develop their academic language.
