We sure do love our Estimate Jar activity! Today, we did our April jar! April flew by with the students seeing what was in there!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many chocolates were crammed on in the jar with the Easter grass that made it tricky to see them.
We decided today we would count by 5's because the ojects were small and we didn't have a lot of time so counting by 5's is quick and we always use more practice counting by 5!
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 chocolate treats.
Fateh, Zoe and Morgan were our lucky winners!!! They were each only 3 away from the 57 treats we had in total! They knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in the class. Everyone got to enjoy some chocolates and the class even shared with Mrs. Herbert and Ms. Hohner as well!
Sweet deal! Some sweet math on a Wednesday morning!
