Predecessor Standards:

  • K.MD.A.2
    Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has "more of"/"less of" the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.

Successor Standards:

  • 4.ESS.2.2
    Analyze and interpret maps of Earth’s mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, volcanoes, and earthquake epicenters to describe patterns of these features and their locations relative to boundaries between continents and oceans.

Same Level Standards:

  • 2.MD.A.4
    Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.
  • 2.ESS.2.1
    Investigate and compare the effectiveness of multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.* Clarification Statements: Solutions to be compared could include different designs of dikes and windbreaks to hold back wind and water, and different designs for using shrubs, grass, and trees to hold back the land; Solutions can be generated or provided.
