Students participate in a classroom scavenger hunt with a partner to measure common classroom objects using a ruler.

Bigger, taller, shorter, or longer? In this spring lesson plan, students will compare two objects and create their own spring-themed comparison worksheet. They will draw pairs of pictures and come up with their own comparison questions.
