Let's practice comparing sizes and putting events in order, step by step!
Part 1: Comparing Sizes
How to Compare
When we compare two things, we look at them side by side and ask: Which one is bigger? Which one is smaller? Which one is taller?
1 Example: Which is bigger?

Answer: The elephant is bigger!
2 Example: Which is taller?
