On this sheet

  • Here are two ribbons. Which one is longer? How do you know? — answer: Independently aligns the actual objects at one end and accurately compares their lengths, including equality if present. Separately identifies both endpoints of one supplied object and traces the complete span from one end to the other. Accept pointing/tracing and everyday words; formal terminology is not required. A longer/shorter judgement alone does not establish endpoint/span understanding.
