GENERAL CONCEPTS
- Big
The term big denotes an object which is large in size, amount or extent. The concept
may be taught to the child by providing a few balls/objects of varying sizes. Once the
child explores all the balls/objects of varying sizes he/she may be able to understand
the idea by reasoning and discovery. - Small
The term small denotes any object which is less than the normal size. The idea may be
taught by using the same balls/objects of varying sizes which were used to teach the
idea of big. - Tall
The term tall refers to some object or thing which is more than the average height.
To enable the child to understand the idea, allow him/her to touch the shoulders of
two pupils, of which one is short and the other is tall. As the child is able to feel by
touch that one of them is taller than the other he/she may understand the concept.
Wooden sticks of varying heights may also be used to teach the concept.
