We had lots of fun in math class lately. In our measurement units we have been checking out how long/ tall and short things are compared to each other.
You may want to have some fun with this at home! Here are some ideas: Line your family up in order of height; line up shoes in order of length; roll out playdoh (or cookie dough ! ) - who can make the longest :"snake"? ; line up the stuffed animals in order of height...
Sesame Street has fun with this concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVJQcwga0eI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USGCnq0SRms and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtDBSvDbzxA
