Description
Students have problems estimating heights. This project is complete with a suggested single website which they will use to locate information about the skyscrapers of Cleveland. This can be used as a sample to complete together before researching your city's skyscrapers or as a self-directed activity. Students not only report the height in meters and feet, but they become familiar with how many meters/feet make up a floor. The students will also be required to list additional information on each building. In the end, for fun, the students will create their own skyscraper.

Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36),...
