SEMINAR: Measuring for school map

If Ms.  Newton will send students out (with completed pass in agenda) to collect measurements of specific locations for our map of the school.  You will come back and convert your measurements while the other students go measure.

When measuring the school buildings for the map, remember the formula:
(your footsteps) x (length of foot in inches) = (length in inches) 
(length in inches) /12 = (length in feet)
THEN TO SCALE FOR MAP:
Length in feet /6 = number of squares on the map grid.
