Abstract

The Healthy Food Slide Rule (HFSR) is a new educational tool designed specifically for use by school children in grades 4-6. The HFSR teaches the importance of including the 5 food groups and the importance of complying with appropriate portion sizes as presented in the MyPyramid Food Guidance System. The portion size information included in the HFSR combines the healthful eating and physical activity messages offered by MyPyramid for Kids. The new tool can easily be incorporated into existing math lessons (weights, measures, and fractions), into language arts lessons, or into science lessons.
