What is size?

size

How big or small something is.

For example

A breadfruit and a plum are very different in size.

In Grade 1

Children compare two things directly, holding them side by side, before any measuring tool is introduced.

Watch out for

Children often judge size by height alone. A short wide pot can hold more than a tall narrow one.
