This shoe is huge!


Brian and his son were doing some shopping when he found this shoe.  Egad!  Could that be someone's real shoe? In this activity student use a shoe size chart, patterns or linear modeling to try to figure out what size this shoe must be.  Then they try to estimate how tall this person must have been.  Whoa!


For Adventurer members we have an editable Word docx, an Excel sheet, and teaching hints/solutions.
