Things I Forget

Worksheet Description

This worksheet contains four pairs of items displayed within individual sections, each pair consisting of one long item and one short item. The pairs include a bowtie and a tie, a log and a stump, a comb and a hairbrush, and a pair of scissors and a pair of hair clippers. Students are instructed to look at the items in each box and circle the one that is short. The objective is for students to visually assess the length of the items and distinguish the shorter one in each comparison.

The worksheet’s goal is to educate students on the concept of length by teaching them to identify the shorter item within a pair. It enhances their ability to make visual comparisons and understand relative sizes. This skill is important for foundational geometry and measurement learning in mathematics. Additionally, circling the shorter item helps to improve fine motor skills and provides an opportunity for students to practice following directions and completing tasks with precision.
