Longer than and shorter than.

I always look for new ways to help the children get the concept of longer than and shorter than.

This year, I divided the children into groups of 3. Each group was given a short ruler and a digital camera. They were asked to take photos of either something which was longer than the ruler or shorter than the ruler. I then combined the photos into a photo story, to watch with the children.

We also completed the same task using a metre stick. I have not uploaded those videos here as they contain images of the children in my class and I have not received permission from their parents to do this.
