"Foot Size" Scale

Data about "foot sizes" is being collected and reported as grouped data, using the groupings listed in the table below.

It might be helpful in some contexts to draw an analogy with the real-life notion of "shoe size", and recognise that you fit a "Size 12" shoe while your foot grows through a particular range of lengths.

For some students, determining their Reach for the Stars "Foot Size" might involve direct comparisons with templates (such as boxes, footprints or streamers). Others might make a formal measurement of their foot length and compare this with the scale below. A variety of suggestions is provided on the pages for teachers of pre-school, early primary, middle primary, upper primary and secondary students.
