Hunter Foot

At Hunter, Bryson's math class isn't about memorization but about integrating with reading, problem solving, and figuring things out on his own with friends (like real life!). Check out the update from Hutner's math specialist below.

We began the year with a school-wide theme of data analysis.  Some grades created their own graphs about each other’s preferences while others graphed the amount of time spend doing certain daily activities.  Students analyzed data and looked at how data might be misleading.
 
Additionally, grades K-6 learned about how the measure that was used to represent a foot has changed throughout the years.  We compiled our foot size data in order to choose a “Hunter Foot” that would be representative of our students.  8 inches, which was the mode, or the most repeated answer of our data was chosen to be our “Hunter Foot.”
 
Some feet things to think about:
A)   What would your family’s foot size be?
B)   If a “Hunter Foot” is 8 inches, how long might a “Hunter Hand” be?
C)   If a “Hunter Foot” is 8 inches, how tall might a “Hunter Student” be?
D)   How many “Hunter Feet” long is your dining room table?
