Direction:  Use a five column chart to complete the comparison length problem.  In the first column, draw and label Angle A, and write the total length of Angle A in inches.  In the second column, draw and label Angle B, and write the total length of Angle B in inches.   In column three, write which angle is longer.  In column four, write how much longer the longest angle is in inches.  In column five, write how much shorter the shortest angle is in inches.
Task One Part Two: 
Direction: Write and solve one comparing length problem.  Use the template to fill in the blanks to write your own comparing length problem.  
1.  _______________  (name) drew two angles on his/her paper.  Use an inch ruler to draw Angle A and Angle B.
 The first part of the Angle A was _________inches long.  The second part of the Angle A was _________  inches long.  How long was  Angle A altogether?
 The first part of the Angle B was ________inches long.  The second part of the Angle B was  _________ inches long.  How long was Angle B altogether?
Which angle is longer in inches?  
Angle A             Angle B
How much longer is the longest angle in inches?
How much shorter is the shortest angle in inches?                                                                          
Task Two Part One: Use a five column chart to complete the comparison length problem.  In the first column, draw and label Angle A, and write the total length of Angle A in inches.  In the second column, draw and label Angle B, and write the total length of Angle B in inches.   In column three, write which angle is longer.  In column four, write how much longer the longest angle is in inches.  In column five, write how much shorter the shortest angle is in inches.
Direction:  Task Two Part Two: 
1.  Frankie wrote a math problem about two ants.  Use an inch ruler to draw and measure Angle A and Angle B.
The first ant walked on angle A.  The first part of Angle A was 4 inches long.  The second part of Angle A was 2 inches long.  How long was Angle A altogether?
The second ant walked on Angle B.  The first part of Angle B was 5 inches long.  The second part of Angle B was 4 inch long.  How long was Angle B altogether?
Which angel is longer in inches?  
Angle A             Angle B
How much longer is the longest angle in inches?  Which ant walked the farthest distance?
How much shorter is the shortest angle in inches? Which ant walked the shortest distance?
