Max Maths, Year 1, Work Book, Comparing the length of two objects

In the Max Maths Workbook for Year 1, young learners are introduced to the concept of comparing lengths and heights of various objects and people. The workbook provides a range of practice exercises to help children understand these measurements in a visual and interactive way. Practice 1 focuses on comparing the length of two objects, where children are asked to observe pairs of items or individuals and determine which is shorter, taller, or higher. For instance, they may be presented with two images side by side and instructed to tick the correct object based on the question—whether it's identifying which object is shorter or deciding who is taller between two people.

The workbook also includes activities that require the children to use vocabulary related to dimensions. They are given sentences with missing words and a box containing words such as 'taller', 'shorter', 'longer', and 'higher'. The students must select the appropriate word to complete each sentence accurately. For example, when comparing a cat and a kitten, children will choose between 'taller' and 'shorter' to describe the relative height of the cat compared to the kitten. These activities are designed to enhance the children's understanding of comparative measurements and to build their vocabulary in describing length and height in everyday contexts.
