Part of Lesson Plan: Foundations of Measurement

Activity Overview / Details

This exercise gives students the opportunity to measure and compare their body parts to anthropomorphic units of measure and to discuss the problems of non-standardized units of measurement. Students will follow the directions on the worksheet and measure various objects in the room using their anthropomorphic measuring device. They will complete calculations based upon their measurements.

This worksheet may be used as a graded assignment or as a "check for understanding", or both.
