Hello Everyone!
We have been working very hard at Estimating over the last few days which we found very interesting and most students grasped the concepts. We had to first figure out what the word means and many students remember what they had learned in Kindergarten- we finally came to the conclusion that to Estimate means to GUESS! however, the guess needs to be a realistic one. As a group we worked estimating how many shapes were in our shape jar. We have to group the numbers into 10s and then we begin to see who was the closet. While doing this, we also learnt how to round numbers to the nearest 10s and we take the same principles and work on rounding numbers to the nearest 100s. Here are a few pictures of the our estimation and rounding work that we have so far completed.
