Today, we did our May Estimate Jar because we missed it somehow yesterday!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many double lollipops were in the jar.
We decided today we would count by 2's because we know counting by ones takes us a long time!
Then for the big moment...we all took a turn going around the class and sharing our estimate. We compared numbers and how far away our estimate was from the actual total we had of the candy suckers.
We had a 4 way tie for our winners! Each was only 1 away from the 24 treats we had in total! Our winning team knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in the class. We had 6 leftover which made it super difficult to share with our three winners. We discussed how we could cut the candy suckers into different amounts so we would have part of a whole but they do not cut very well. So our solution was to give the extra two to our Grade 2 friends that have been visiting our class this week. That worked out well! Some sweet math on a beautiful, sunny day!
