Is a Blue Whalethe Biggest Thing There is? Concept: Comparing objects of different size.
Teaching the Concept • Read the book to the students. • Engage the students with questions while reading the story. (What do you think might be bigger than a blue whale?) • Next, have the students identify small and large items in the classroom (playground, gymnasium, park). • Ask students to estimate how many small objects it would take to equal a larger item.
Idea From: Wells, R. E. (1993). Is a blue whale the biggest thing there is? Morton Grove, IL: Albert Whitman & Company.
