Estimation



We are talking about estimation in math.  Students learned that when they estimate they have to "think" and "make a smart guess."  We estimated how many pieces of candy corn were in the container on the right.  We talked about how there were 10 candy corns in the left container and how we knew there were more candy corns in the container on the right.  Tomorrow, students will find out if their estimate was close or far off.
