Est. Class Sessions: 4

Teacher Notes

Students will need stations to measure their height in centimeters. Tape two metersticks to the wall at a few places in the classroom.

Students should take into account that one partner's head will not be included in their height together.

Find a partner. Work together to find the measurements needed to answer each question. Measure in centimeters.

If you stood on your partner's shoulders, how tall would you both be? Show or tell how you decided.
