Comparing Measures
More than, less than
With measuring we compare — which is longer, heavier, or holds more?
Length: longer / shorter
Weight: heavier / lighter
Capacity: holds more / holds less
Weight: heavier / lighter
Capacity: holds more / holds less
Measuring is all about comparing: longer or shorter, heavier or lighter, holds more or less. We use these comparing words every day. First compare, then later you learn to measure with numbers and units like cm and litres!
