This week, we did our May Estimate Jar since May school days have now disappeared!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many fruit 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 it was super close to lunch 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. We are getting much faster at comparing numbers!
Fateh was our winner (funny enough he won last year's May estimate jar as well!) and was the closest estimate to the 66 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 3. We created our first division sentence with 66 divided by 20 to be introduced to that type of number sentence. Since there were 6 remainder that was Fateh's winnings! Some sweet math on a beautiful, sunny day to wrap up May!
