Gakuva’s recommended starting approach is selected. You can still compare every option.
1 approach
Objects have measurable attributes. Weight can feel heavier or lighter. Length can look longer or shorter. We name the attribute we are comparing before we decide.
Spend about 10–15 minutes comparing a bottle, a book, and a cup by weight and length.

Check understanding
- Identify that a pencil has length and can be measured
- Describe multiple attributes of one object (e.g. a bottle has height, weight, and capacity)
- Use words like 'long', 'heavy', 'full' to describe objects
“If your child picks up a water bottle and a book, can they tell you which is heavier and which is taller — without any measuring tools?”
