Today, I will compare the length of two objects by using a third object to make an indirect comparison.
Vocabulary
Teacher Resources Considerations: When comparing more than two objects use the suffix –est. Continue to use –er when comparing two objects.
marker
hammer
Use real objects to compare lengths. When real objects are not available, different colors of yarn may be used to show different lengths. For this lesson it is recommended to use both.
Suggested items for this lesson: paper clip, marker, white board eraser, pencil, book, eraser, scissors, crayon, yarn, and strips of white, black, and red paper.
arrow
Steps: The marker is shorter than the hammer. The hammer is shorter than the arrow.
Therefore, the marker is shorter than the arrow.

1. Put the objects in order from shortest to longest. 2. Compare the first object to the second object. 3. Compare the second object to the third object. 4. Indirectly compare the first object with the third object.

/ Directions: Indirectly compare the length of two objects by using a third object.
1. Compare the length of two objects by using a third.
State the objective: Today, I will compare the length of two objects by using a third object to make an indirect comparison.
Model how to line up a paper clip, a marker, and a white board eraser from shortest to longest (horizontally).
Explain that the paperclip is shorter than the marker and the marker is shorter than the white board eraser while pointing where each object ends in comparison to one another.
Record the comparisons.
The paper clip is shorter than the marker. The marker is shorter than the white board eraser.
Emphasize that the paper clip can be indirectly compared to the white board eraser. Even though those objects are not directly next to each other, it can be determined from the information gathered that the paper clip is shorter than the white board eraser.
Record the indirect comparison.
Indirect comparison: Therefore, the paper clip is shorter than the white board eraser.
Model how to move the paper clip next to the white board eraser and prove that the indirect comparison (that the paper clip is shorter than the white board eraser) is correct.

2. Compare the length of two objects by using a third.
Restate the objective: Today, I will compare the length of two objects by using a third object to make an indirect comparison.
Model how to line up a book, a pencil, and an eraser from longest to shortest (horizontally).
Explain that the book is longer than the pencil and the pencil is longer than the eraser, while pointing where each object ends in comparison to the other.
Record the comparisons.
The book is longer than the pencil. The pencil is longer than the eraser.
Emphasize that the book can be indirectly compared to the eraser. Even though those objects are not directly next to each other, it can be determined by the information gathered that the book is longer than the eraser.
Record the indirect comparison.
Indirect comparison: Therefore, the book is longer than the eraser.
Model how to move the book next to the eraser and prove that the indirect comparison (that the book is longer than the eraser) is correct.

Grade 1 Unit 5 Lesson 5 C TE
/ Directions: Indirectly compare the length of two objects by using a third object.
1. Compare the length of two objects by using a third.
Restate the objective.
Direct students to line up a crayon, a pair of scissors, and a long piece of yarn from shortest to longest.
Direct student to compare the lengths of the crayon to the scissors and the scissors to the yarn and record their findings.
The crayon is shorter than the scissors. The scissors are shorter than the yarn.
Direct students to make an indirect comparison between the crayon and the yarn and record their findings.
Indirect comparison: Therefore, the crayon is shorter than the yarn.
2. Compare the length of two objects by using a third.
Restate the objective.
Direct students to line up a long white strip of paper, a medium length black strip of paper, and a short red strip of paper from longest to shortest.
Direct students to compare the lengths of the white strip of paper to the black strip of paper, and the black strip of paper to the red strip of paper and record their findings.
The white paper is longer than the black paper. The black paper is longer than the red paper.
Direct students to make an indirect comparison between the white paper and the red paper and record their findings.
Indirect comparison: Therefore, the white paper is longer than the red paper.

Grade 1 Unit 5 Lesson 5 C TE
Directions: Compare the length of two objects by using a third object.
1. Compare the length of 3 different sized crayons from longest to shortest. Hold up the crayon that is longer than one crayon but shorter than the other. Continue comparing the other 2 crayons to this crayon and then make an indirect comparison.
2. Compare the length of 3 different sized workbooks/ books from longest to shortest. Hold up the book that is longer than one book but shorter than another. Continue comparing the other two books to this book and then make an indirect comparison.
Recap today’s lesson with one or more of the following MP questions: MP1: What did you do first? Why? MP6: How can you use math vocabulary in your explanation? MP7: What steps helped you solve the problems?
