key notes

  • Size tells how big or small something is.
  • We use words like:
    • Big / Small
    • Long / Short
    • Tall / Short
    • Thick / Thin
  • We compare two or more objects to see the difference.
  • Example:
    • An elephant is big, a mouse is small.
    • A pencil is longer than an eraser.

  • Weight tells how heavy or light something is.
  • We use words like:
    • Heavy / Light
    • Heavier / Lighter
  • We can compare by:
    • Holding objects in our hands
    • Using a balance scale
  • Example:
    • A rock is heavy, a feather is light.
    • A watermelon is heavier than an apple.

  • Use real objects (books, pencils, bags) for comparison.
  • Ask questions like:
    • “Which is bigger?”
    • “Which is heavier?”
  • Encourage students to observe and speak.

  • Circle the bigger object.
  • Tick the heavier object.
  • Say: “The bag is heavier than the book.”
