Measurement and Geometry COS 12.) Measure length in metric units. COS 14.) Recognize data as either categorical or numerical.
 * Measure By The Foot **
 * Estimating lengths to the nearest metric unit
 * Comparing related data sets from Venn diagrams, bar graphs, line graphs, and line plots
 * Interpreting data from displays, including Venn diagrams, bar graphs, and line plots

MATERIALS Each participating class will need 1 piece of construction paper per student. You will also need a long straight area, somewhere in their school, where you are able to lay out the feet to get a final measurement! INSTRUCTIONS Create a class estimate of how many "feet" there are in your classroom.
 * Measure By The Foot is a project to help teach measurement in a fun way in your classroom.

After you have made your "guesstimate" 1. Students will choose 1 of their feet to trace and cut out. (team students up to assist each other) 2. Students measure the length of their (bare) foot. 3. The entire class will create a long line of feet (heel to toe) and measure the total length of the class in feet. (feel free to measure in centimeters but for this project, the results will need to be submitted by feet/inches) Teachers will add the following data to the project results form: a. The total length of all the feet combined (in feet and inches). b. How many students (number of feet) are involved in this project. || Class Prediction: 16 Feet

Actual Length: 14 Feet

[|Online Conversion]- The students measured in centimeters then converted to feet by using this online tool.
