- Have the students in your group remove their shoes and measure their height.
- Measure the length of the adult's left foot from the wall to the tip of the big toe.
- Examine the numbers. Do you see a pattern?
- Divide the length of each person's left foot by his/her height. Multiply the quotient by 100. What do you get? You may also want to use the calculator on a computer for this
The results of your calculations should be about 15, illustrating that the length of a person's foot is approximately 15 percent of his or her height.
