Bianca's Body Math

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

A fun activity is presented in this math learning exercise. Youngsters mark off seven of their footlengths, then perform other measurements of their bodies to see if there are any correllations. Students discover that, for many of them, their height is exactly the same as their arm span! An engaging activity, for sure.
