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 skittles packs were crammed on in the jar that made it tricky to see them.
We decided today we would count by 2's because the objects were a bit bigger and we didn't have a lot of time so counting by 2's is quick and we always use more practice counting by 2's!
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 skittles!
Claire was our lucky winner!!! It was close that we almost had a 6 way tie of students that were 2 away but Claire snuck in their with her estimate of being exactly on the 22 that was in the jar! She knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in the class. Everyone got a pack to take home and Claire got a couple extra packs as the winner!
Sweet deal! Some sweet math on a Thursday morning!
