Introduction

In this chapter, we will explore the concept of "big" and "small." These are important words we use to describe the size of objects. We'll use pictures to help us understand these concepts better.

Big

• Big means something is large or has a lot of size.
• Imagine a huge elephant. That's big!
• Look at the picture of a big tree. See how tall and wide it is?

Small

• Small means something is tiny or doesn't have much size.
• Think about a little ant. That's small!
• Look at the picture of a small flower. It's so tiny compared to the tree!

Comparison

• Now, let's compare big and small.
• The elephant is BIG, but the ant is SMALL.
• The tree is BIG, but the flower is SMALL.

Examples

Example 1: Big: A school bus is big. It can carry many students.
Small: A ladybug is small. It can sit on your finger.

Example 2: Big: A mountain is big. It's so huge that it touches the sky!
Small: A pebble is small. It's just a tiny rock you can hold in your hand.

Example 3: Big: A house is big. It has many rooms for people to live in.
Small: A key is small. You use it to open a door.

Example 4: Big: A whale is big. It's one of the largest animals in the ocean.
Small: A fish is small. It swims around in the water.

Remember, "big" and "small" are words we use to describe the size of things. You'll see these words a lot when talking about the world around you. Practice looking at different objects and deciding if they are big or small. It's fun to explore the world of sizes!
