A little more advanced…
Make some graphs to record the measurements that interest your child. Graph
paper and felt pens are great. Kids can also make graphs online at
http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/
- Heights of family members and friends—whoever will stand up and be
measured. Use 1 square on the graph paper for every 20 cm in height, or 1
square for every 10 cm in height.
- Show the height compared with the “wingspan” of a few people. Again, 1 square
on the graph paper for every 10 or 20 cm.
- Show the length of the foot compared with the distance from the wrist to the inside of the elbow of a few people. Use 1 square for 1 cm.
