What this lesson shows
A bucket is tall, it is heavy, and it holds sand: how long, how heavy, and how much it holds.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: cups, 6 and 1: which is holds more. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- How long or tall
- How heavy
- How much it holds
- One thing, many measures
Helping at home
Read each box aloud. Then pick up a cup at home and ask: how tall is it? Is it heavy or light? How much water does it hold?
If your kid gets stuck
Long or tall? Heavy or light? Holds more or less?
