Comparing and ordering measurements

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

Lesson

Set out your lesson

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

Before teaching

Use this short check, then start teaching.

Activity

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

Policy

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

Printer, credit, and teaching notes

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.

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.

Hand Span Measures

Open practice (new tab)
Before you open · source notes

Hand-span measures support comparing and ordering lengths. Not every volume measure.

Free, no sign-in. A teacher solution is on the same page, so use the student view with your child.

Before you open

Ask the learner to measure two lengths in hand spans and say which is longer.

Opening this link does not save learning or assess mastery.

Source, access and review notes

Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.

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?”
