Each student takes off a shoe and traces the shoe with a pencil. The students then remove the opposite shoe. Place the shoe underneath the paper and align it with the outline of the shoe on top. Rub it with a crayon and the pattern of the shoe will appear on the paper. Have students use the objects to estimate the length their feet and record on paper.
Students check their estimates and record their measurements on the papers.
Teacher may help make comparisons between the estimates and the actual measurements made by the objects. Assessment Have students guess and check the length of other objects found in the classroom. This is a prerequisite to measuring with a standard measuring tool.
