Lesson Idea | How Big is a Foot

This lesson uses the book How Big Is a Foot? by Rolf Myller to help pre-kindergarten students explore measurement through hands-on activities over three days. Children learn about “longer” and “shorter” by making predictions, comparing objects, and measuring with both pom-pom “inchworms” and rulers. The plan includes reading the story with prediction stops, discussing problem-solving in the book, and creating a class “How Many Inches” book to record measurements. It is designed for pre-kindergarten learners and combines reading, math, and creative tasks to make learning about measurement fun and engaging.
