In a Year 2 mathematics lesson from the Max Maths series, students are encouraged to compare and discuss the relative heights of learners depicted in an illustrative picture. This exercise is designed to help children develop their understanding of comparative measurements and descriptive terms relating to length. The children are presented with a scenario where they must observe and compare the heights of different characters: Samir, Padma, and Han.

The activity prompts students to make observations such as "Samir is taller than Padma," indicating an understanding of comparative height. Additionally, they are to note that "Samir is shorter than Han," which introduces the concept of hierarchy in measurement. Through these comparisons, students conclude that "Han is the tallest" among the learners shown, while "Padma is the shortest." This exercise not only teaches children how to compare lengths but also helps them to articulate these comparisons using appropriate vocabulary.
