Max Maths, Year 2, Try it, Comparing lengths (1)

In a practical exercise designed for Year 2 students, they are encouraged to compare the heights of different flowers through an engaging activity. The task is to fill in the blanks with appropriate words that describe the relative heights of the flowers, using a set of given terms such as 'yellow', 'orange', 'pink', 'taller than', and 'shorter than'. This exercise aims to develop the children's understanding of comparative measurements and vocabulary.

The activity presents a series of statements where students must assess the heights and make comparisons. For example, they might determine if the orange flower is taller or shorter than the yellow flower, and similarly compare the yellow flower with the orange and pink ones. They are also asked to identify which flower is the shortest and which is the tallest. This simple yet effective task not only helps students practice comparing lengths but also reinforces their comprehension of descriptive language in a mathematical context.
