When we compare, it helps to line things up and look. When the bottoms are even, it’s easier to see which one is tall. We can clearly see what is big and what is small.

🤔 If you line up the bottoms of the blocks, which one is the tallest?

When you line things up starting with the biggest one, that is largest to smallest. When you line things up starting with the smallest one, that is smallest to largest. When things are in order, it’s easy for everyone to understand.
