Today, we did our May Estimate Jar since it is the last day of May!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many fruity, chewy candies were in the jar.
We decided today we would count by 5's because we know counting that way takes less time and everyone wanted to get to phys. ed. time as well!
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 candies.
Nate was our winner and was only 1 away from the 56 treats we had in total! Our winner knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in the class. We had enough for everyone to have 2 but not quite enough to have everyone have 3, so Nate got to take the rest of the winnings! Some sweet math on a beautiful, sunny day!
