Hi everyone! Who does not love Dr. Seuss' book "The Foot Book"? This is a wonderful activity to do with your class. Create a foot book within your class. This is a great way for all the children to get to know each student. When creating a foot book, all you need is construction paper, crayons and white paint, OH and a book binder. Have each child step their foot in the white paint and push their foot print down on the paper. Then have them write their name and one interesting fact on the page as well. Now here comes the part where you can tie the activity in with math. After you read the book to the whole class, write these questions on the board:
1. How many inches in a foot?
2. How long is your foot?
3. How many times does the word foot appear in the book?
4. If each foot has 5 toes, how many toes are in our class book?
Have each student answer these questions on the back of their foot print page. This way we have everyone's answers and we can create a fun Foot Book that includes a math activity with inches and feet.
Below I included what my family foot book looks like, so you can see what it should look like in the end.
