Snake Measurement Activity

Using a soft tape measure, measure your student's height (in inches).
Let your older student use division to determine how many of themselves it would take to equal the length of each snake listed below. 

For your younger student, mark their measurement on the floor (masking tape works well).  Then, have your student help you measure and mark each snake.  How does he compare?  Which snake would be the most intimidating to encounter?!?

You could also turn this information into a graphing activity.
