Estimating and Measuring

Our new mathematical word today was estimate.

A great day for using the court to estimate and measure each other.  Our measuring skills on these practical activities are really improving.  I was surprised at how accurate some estimates were.  We had talked about looking carefully and then thinking by seeing (imaging) how long 10 would be first. Then use our knowledge of skip counting in 10's to decide on our estimate.

WALTs:
  • ·       Measure length using non-standard measuring units (we are using multi link cubes or 10 rods)
  • ·       Estimate (think and guess) how many cubes or rods  a length might be before measuring
