You showed a lot of effort & energy stretching your measurement muscle. We also had a blast!
Now, let’s take it a step further.

Tell us the following information:
1) How far away were you when made it in the basketball hoop? About _____ yards.

2) Convert that measurement into feet or inches. ____ft. / _____in.


3) How many ounces in a cup? ______oz. How many ounces in half a cup? _____ oz

4) Using your “Perimeter Power,” figure out the area (b x h = a) for all shapes measured (Including the CD case, Twizzler, cat, etc….).


5) Lastly, how many yards did you toss the football? ____ yards. Now, convert that to inches. You CAN do it!!

Hint: How many inches are in a yard?
You tossed the football how many inches? ____in.
