This is a great "Me" activity with lots of opportunities to incorporate maths! It also makes a great class display and keepsake that parents will love. To complete this activity, you'll need pieces of string the same length as each student's height. Depending on your students' age/ability and school resources, you may like to have them lie down on the ground while you or another student rolls out the string to match their height. Alternatively, use a tape measure/stadiometer to measure the students and then cut off a matching piece of string. Ideas for incorporating maths:

1. Once each student has their piece of string, they can be used to compare and order the heights of the students in the class.
2. They can also use their string to find things which they are taller longer/shorter smaller than.
3. How many students does it take to get from point a to b (e.g. classroom to office)? Have students lay their string down end to end.
4. Redo this at the end of the year and compare strings. How much have they grown? Is the height order of the class still the same?

 Once you have finished exploring maths with the stings, tie them onto this lovely keepsake. Hole punch or simply poke two holes with a pen and thread each end of the string through, before tying in a bow.
