Measurement

Basic Concepts

Why can’t you tell from this picture which child is taller?

Correct Response:

Response must demonstrate understanding that it is impossible

to determine the height of the sitting child, so a comparison

cannot be made.

“Because the girl is standing and the boy is sitting.”

Incorrect Response

“Because she is standing.” or

“Because she is not sitting down.”
