Measure Your Feet

http://www.temple.edu/older_adult/appendixB.htm

Believe it or not, January 23 is Measure Your Feet Day. I have no idea who originated this day but it sounds like a fun measuring activity for this week so grab a ruler and measure your feet. Measure the length (at the longest part) and width (at the widest part). After you do that, see if you can find something in your house or school that is the about same length as your foot!

Here is my example:

My foot is 8.5 inches long and 3 inches wide. I found that regular paper is 8.5 inches wide, the same as the length of my foot. I have a small clock that is almost 3 inches wide.

    I chose to measure my foot with my shoe on. My foot (with shoe) is about 9 1/4 inches long. That is much longer than I anticipated it would be. This means that my shoe is larger than the lid of my computer, which is 8 1/2 inches wide. My foot is 3 3/4 inches wide. That means my foot is almost three times as long as it is wide. I think some of my students will have even longer feet than I do if they measure their foot with their shoes on.

    I chose to measure my foot with my shoe on. My foot (with my shoe on) was about 9 1/2in long. It was longer than I thought it would be! It was about the same size of a book called "for boys only" this book is just about 9 1/2in long and my foot is about 9 1/2in just like the book! Some other books are longer and shorter than my foot was like 10in and 9in

    My foot is 10 inch long as long as a book the book is 9 inch long. My foot is 3 inch long that is as long as a Camry. I bet that a baby foot is 4 to 3 inch wide and 3 to 2 inch long.

    My foot is 6 1/2 inches long and 2 1/2 inches wide. My righting journal is about as long as my foot.My teachers stop watch is about as wide as my foot.
    6 1/2 inches is smaller then I thought my foot would be. 2 1/2 inches is smaller then thought my foot would be going side to side.

    I chose to measure my foot with my shoe off. My foot (with my shoe off)is about 8 inches long. That is much longer than I thought it would be. This means that my foot is the same size as my writing journal. The width of my foot is 3 1/2 inches wide. That means Mrs.Tabitha's hall pass is the same width as my foot (with my shoe off.)

My real foot is as long as Mrs. Musone's computer holder. My foot's with is 4 inches wide and that is as long as two tissue box's on top of each other.

My foot(with my shoe off) is also 2 1/2 inches wide I figured out that a skinny piece of paper from my writing journal is almost the same size as my foot. It is 3 inches wide. That is how wide and tall my feet are!

    I chose to measure my left foot without my shoe on. My foot (without shoe) is about 8 inches long. That is the same amount as I had anticipated. That means that my left foot is larger then my writing journal. It is 8 1/4.

    The width of my left foot is about 3 inches long. That is about the same width as I had anticipated. It means that my left foot is bigger than my left pinkie. It is 2 inches.
