Today, we did our final Estimate Jar for the school year!!
Each student wrote down their estimate on their white board of how many treats were in the jar. This time they were NOT the same size or item so it made it a little more tricky as our final estimate jar challenge of the school year!
We decided today we would count by 2’s because we know counting by ones takes us a long time, and we wanted to move on to other fun math activities 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 the candies.
Avery was our winner! She was just 1 away from the 27 treats we had in total! Our winner knew our tradition is to share the treats with everyone in the class. So we divided them up to share practicing our division skills we have been exploring in math. Each of the class friends got 1 with our equal sharing with a remainder. The 8 remainder were given to Avery as the winner to share with her family!
Some sweet math on this last day of Grade 1/2 in the Busy Bee classroom!
