These worksheets will teach your pre-k students to measure relative sizes by comparing simple pictures.

How to teach students to compare height - There are so many things that students have to learn with math. From simple addition and subtraction to complex word problems, geometrical shapes, algebra questions, along with topics and definitions, there is so much that children have to learn in math! Plus, you have to make them practice. Keep practicing the questions until they are so perfect that they are not just accurate, but also really quick in solving questions! So, if you must teach your students to compare height, it's pretty simple! The easiest technique is to start from the shortest. Make a line of the students from shortest to tallest, and then tell them the concept. Tell them what short and tall means. You can also give examples with animals, or things from within the classroom.

Students will be asked to visual observe the concept of relative height and length. They will compare the height of two horizontally adjacent objects. We will also explore the differences and similarities between tall and long. Some interesting facts about length and size in humans, during the 18th and 19th centuries America had the tallest average population. But today the Netherlands has the crown of tallest average height of citizens. Dutch men average 6 foot, while American men average 5 feet 9 inches. Dutch women average 5 feet 7 inches, while American women average 5 feet 4 inches. These worksheets explain how to compare the relative sizes of different objects by using simple pictures. Activities include measuring relative height, determining long and short, and more.
