Measurement

RiverRun students have been studying measurement.  On 1/7/11 they each measured themselves in literal feet (their own foot)!  Here's how it's done. 

1) Find a partner.  Lay down on a piece of long paper and have your partner make a line to show how tall you are.


2) Step in paint and then walk (bottom-to-top) down the paper going foot-to-foot with your green footprints.


3) Help partner to do the same.


4) Repeat with new partnership.


5) Tip:  Wash well at the end. 


Later, after the paint dries, you take a ruler and measure height in feet and inches to compare literal feet to standard measurement.
