Mrs. Loves students! This is a great web site for enriching math: [|Math Manipulatives]

For a fun and educational math experiment try height and foot size. Height and Foot Size Correlation Exp.

== =__Height and Foot Size Correlation__= ==During class we have been learning about graphs. We have also been learning about Mean, Median, Mode and Range. As a result we decided to do some research into the correlation between height and foot size.==

==We will be using [|Create a Graph] or Google Docs spreadsheet to crunch the numbers and develop graphs. After we have created these we will examine them and interpret the data.==

T**o do this project you will need to follow the procedures.**

 * 1) ==**Work in pairs.**==
 * 2) ==**Write a prediction. (post on the Discussion Tab)**==
 * 3) ==**Select 20 boys or 20 girls.**==
 * 4) ==**Select an age group (4th/5th graders, family members or adults)**==
 * 5) ==**Measure their height and foot size to the nearest cm. Remove all their shoes or none of their shoes (just be consistant)**==
 * 6) ==**Create a chart with all the heights and foot sizes. (use a Google docs spreadsheet)**==
 * 7) ==**Make a graph that shows the MMMR. (height, foot size)**==
 * 8) ==**Find the Ratio of Foot Size to Height. Make a graph. Find the MMMR.**==
 * 9) ==**Make a graph that shows Height to Foot Size (scatter gram)**==
 * 10) ==Report a summary of your data and conclusion on the Discussion Tab.==
 * 11) ==Graphs and charts can be turned in through Google Docs to be posted on the wiki.==

=__**Questions that we will answer.**__=

2. What is the MMMR of foot size for boys and girls in our 5th grade classes.
==3. What is the correlation between foot size (cm) and height(cm) in our 5th grade class?==

5. What is the ration between foot size and height for girls in the 5th grade?
==5. Is the ratio between foot size and height the same for boys and girls in the 5th grade?==

Graphs we will create.
