Students estimated the length of our classroom rug in my feet, heel to toe. You see that initial estimates encompassed quite a range. Then after I measured a few of my feet, we paused and eliminated some estimates that we knew were not reasonable. After finding out the actual length in teacher feet, students got a chance to estimate and measure the rug in their own feet, factoring in whether their feet were longer or shorter than the students who had already measured.
