What children learn in Level 44
- Measuring and math go together! Story problems about length work just like other story problems.
- Maya's ribbon is 32 inches long. Maya cuts off 9 inches. How long is it now? Cutting makes it shorter, so subtract.
- 32 minus 9 is 23. The ribbon is 23 inches long now. Remember to say the unit: inches!
- Leo jumped 47 inches. Ava jumped 38 inches. How much farther did Leo jump? Compare: count up from 38 to 47. That's 9 inches farther.
