This math topic focuses on understanding and comparing lengths using metric units. It includes evaluating whether various items are shorter, longer, taller, wider, or narrower than specific measurements stated in centimeters, meters, or millimeters. For example, students determine if a bus is longer than 12 centimeters or if a basketball court is wider than 15 centimeters. This introduces basic concepts of measurement and comparison, foundational skills in learning metric units of length.
