Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Confusing taller with longer when objects stand up versus lie flat. Kindergarten learners must learn that taller describes height while longer describes side-to-side length.
• Mixing up heavier and bigger because larger objects often weigh more, but not always. A balloon is bigger than a rock but the rock weighs more.
• Picking the middle object when asked for the longest or shortest. Students must compare all three items carefully and find the true extreme on each end.
