Starters

• How tall do you think you are in inches and meters?

• Record your estimated height.

• Use the meter sticks to take your height and compare it to your estimation.

• List 5 objects that have a similar height (only one may be another classmate).

What is the average height in meters of a middle schooler?

• Take your colored dot and place on the histogram at your height.

• So, what is the average?

• Insert histogram.

Can you name an object that is 2 times bigger than our class average?

Can you name an object that is 10 times bigger than our class average?
