LET’S BREAK IT DOWN!
Which object is longer or shorter?

You can compare more than 2 objects.
You have 3 pencils. When you compare their lengths, you find the shortest, longer, and longest. When you compare their heights, you have shortest, taller, and tallest. For weights, you have lightest, heavier, and heaviest. A tennis ball is the lightest. A baseball is heavier. A basketball is the heaviest.
