Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Bring a variety of food items that we eat daily and water bottles. Have learners compare the sizes, weight and length. E.g. yam is bigger than sweet potatoes, a big bottle of water is heavier than a small bottle of water. Ask learners to compare fruits and other things.
