Description

In this Illuminations lesson, students use measurement to investigate where clothing sizes come from and to explore how sizes differ between companies and countries. They measure height, chest, waist and hip and compare their measurements to sizing charts found in catalogs. They then explain how to choose a size when measurements do not match sizing charts exactly.
