Tall and Short

Tall and Short

Goals were to find trees that was taller than, shorter than, and equal to themselves. Most students found trees that were taller than them but found it hard to find a tree that was the same size. 

They then began looking at other things outside like the fence, poles, buildings, and began to compare them to their height. 

We wanted students to create a math sentence... 'The tree is taller than me'. A lot of important words in that sentence!

"This tree is shorter than me" 

"These bushes are shorter than me"

"This tree is shorter than both of us"
