Each day, we work on problem solving in our math notebooks.
We are currently working on measurement problems.
Here is today's problem:
Nathan is 4 feet 7 inches tall.
Mrs. Collins is 5 feet 2 inches tall.
How much taller is Mrs. Collins than Nathan?
EXPLAIN using words how you arrived at your answer.
