Compare the heights of objects by considering the vertical distance from a common base to the top, identifying which is taller, shorter, or the same height. Accurate comparison requires aligning the bases rather than relying on appearance or position, and supports ordering objects by height and later understanding length measurement with standard units.
To compare heights, look at how far each object goes up from its base.
Example: A pencil and a crayon are standing on a table. Their bottoms are lined up on the same table line.
The top of the pencil reaches higher than the top of the crayon. Therefore:
The crayon is shorter than the pencil. Always line up the bases first so that the comparison is fair.
