๐ Topic Summary
Comparing lengths is all about figuring out which object is longer or shorter than another. We can use words like 'longer than', 'shorter than', and 'the same length as' to describe the differences. For example, a crayon is shorter than a pencil. Understanding this helps us in everyday life, like when we're building things or deciding which toy is bigger!
Let's practice comparing the lengths of different things using this worksheet!
