Shaquille O'Neal Hand & Foot Span

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

If Shaquille O'Neal wears a size-20 shoe, how big are his hands? Learners will use the average ratios of foot length to hand span to calculate the hand span of Shaq, but first, they have to collect the data! They will measure their peers hand and food sizes, graph the data, and figure out the answer. A fun instructional activity for everyone.
