How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
Line up objects at one end to see which is longer, which is shorter, or if they are the same length.
To order three objects, find the shortest and the longest. The last one is in the middle.
A third object, like a string, can compare two objects that cannot sit side by side.
Length units must be the same size and laid end to end with no gaps and no overlaps.
The number of units that cover an object is its length, such as 7 cubes.
