A usage of "for" in this context

He was unusually articulate for a ten-year-old.

I get the meaning "for" in this sentence. How "for" is used in it and the same other examples I want to know. Or something that maintains the context.

I'm not quite sure what you need. I assume you want more sentences with "for" in the meaning illustrated by your example sentence. But you say that you get the meaning, so you should be able to construct sentences like this on your own!
