Estimation

We have been busy learning about numbers to 1000 in math! We also spent some time working on our estimation skills. We used the smart board to help us practice our estimation skills. The kids all looked at two jars of marbles. One jar had the amount of marbles and the students had to estimate how many were in the second jar. The students quickly caught on that by looking at the first jar they could easily tell if their estimate should be larger or smaller than the jar with the given number.

 

 

 

The kids had lots of fun seeing if their estimate was close to the real answer:

 

On Friday the students estimated how many fruit loops it would take to fill their hands:

Of course after our estimating we got to enjoy a few fruit loops for a yummy snack!
