November Estimate Jar

As our final school day of the month, we got to do our November Estimate Jar math activity. Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many candies are in the jar.

We discussed our rules for counting objects. We decided that counting one item at a time would take us a long time so we did groups of 5 to speed things up and practiced our counting by 5's today.

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 candies.

Cash, Claire, Ruth and Brody tided as our lucky winners!!! They were each 2 away from the 52 candies total! They were super kind to share the candies with everyone in class today and students may have brought home their treats (if they didn't eat them out of their lunch today)! And these four also got to take home the leftovers! Score!

Students are really excited to see what is going to fill our estimate jar next for December!
