Whether it's spoons, teddies or balloons, there's plenty of opportunity to work out 'What's smaller?' This is another great set of pages introducing measurement to young children. To start with standard units are not used, but it is very important to get children to compare two things, saying which is bigger, smaller, heavier etc.

Four pages on maths vocabulary of measurement: tall, taller and tallest as well as shorter.

Using the terms longer and shorter to compare objects.

Recognise and use the terms 'smaller' and 'smallest'.
