These great pages will help your child begin to understand measurement and compare the size of objects. Standard units of measurement such as centimetres are not introduced until much later so we begin with simple comparisons of size, using the term 'bigger'.

Learning the correct terms to compare things is vital in the Early Years and one of the most important aspects of measurement. Here we have four more great pages on maths vocabulary for young children, looking at bigger and biggest. You can find these in our Shapes and Measures section. Pick out the biggest frog and find the bigger boot! Talk about the pictures and use the terms as often as possible around the home.

More on matching shapes.

Recognise and use the terms 'bigger' and 'biggest'.
