Comparing and ordering measurements

Compare and order lengths, mass, and capacity and record results using >, <, and =

Teaching Table

Set out your lesson

Practise the bounded task in Comparing and ordering measurements; see exact limits before inferring broader coverage.

Activity

Recognises <, > and =; do not compare unlike physical quantities.

Policy

Exact directed source edges retained; earlier authorship is not learner attainment.

Materials
  • These supplied stage cards

  • Scrap paper and pencil; oral/pointing response where appropriate

Sequence
  • Read readiness and decide on support without treating prerequisite authoring as learner readiness.

  • Open Show first and explain its model.

  • Use Guided Try with support and its separate adult key.

  • Close Show and guided keys before Try, unless this Try is explicitly supported.

  • Reflect on an actual attempt, including help used.

No Printer

Use the supplied screen cards; copying the exact task to paper is optional, not required.

Privacy

Use only invented scenarios and optional anonymous local notes. Do not request names, photos, family finances, medical data, accounts or uploads. Stop uncomfortable physical activity.

Use the complete materials on screen or print only the current sheet. Keep adult guidance out of learner view. Retain an earlier model only when the current step supplies it as context.

Teaching limits and safe use

These are finite task opportunities, not proof of mastery. Record what was attempted and what support was used.

  • Interprets supplied data only; actual measuring and container-capacity practical clauses are blocked.

Check understanding

  • Measure two objects and write 45cm > 32cm
  • Order three containers by capacity after measuring each
  • Use = when two measurements are the same
“If your child measures three pieces of string as 15 cm, 9 cm, and 22 cm, can they put them in order from shortest to longest — and write that using a < symbol?”
