Think you could find the area of a soccer field in standard units using just your feet? Eighth graders at Twin Peaks can. In Mr. Bernard's class, students pace the length and width of the field walking heel to toe. We then trace their shoes and measure the length of a shoe. Converting steps to cm, then cm to m, we determine the length of each side in SI units and calculate the area.

Come join the fun at 100 Mile club. Tuesday and Thursday mornings 7:15-7:45. Out on the track (inside on bad weather days ) with Coach R and Coach Hughes. Can you make 100 miles this school year? Sign up today, starts Tuesday.
