If it's wrapped and edible, we share after the lesson. Kiddos also use a 50's chart (100's chart later) to show their estimate and the actual amount and to figure out what the difference is and write the number sentence.<br /><br />Shelly<br />projectqn@tx.rr.comShellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243463773418494797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930675723044006431.post-42027727431848251612011-07-24T21:32:42.014-04:002011-07-24T21:32:42.014-04:00I am a new follower to your cute blog.

On Monday we take a look at it. Tuesday we take a vote of how many is in there. Wednesday or Thursday we count together to see if we were close. Friday we decide what we will estimate the following week!!!<br />heidi'skrazykinderblogspot.com<br />heidihoang@live.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930675723044006431.post-45436871577670407362011-07-23T18:57:26.353-04:002011-07-23T18:57:26.353-04:00I'm a follower too!

Then we move to another shape of item, and after that our estimation jar goes along with our theme. Our math coach also has a monthly estimation jar for primary and one for intermediate that is housed in the library. Those items vary greatly from the ones in our classroom, so it's a real challenge early in the year. By the end of the year their estimation is right up there with the 1st & 2nd graders.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728002405250315207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930675723044006431.post-36967146442440710022011-07-22T21:22:29.799-04:002011-07-22T21:22:29.799-04:00Whenever we use a new math manipulative, I always ...Whenever we use a new math manipulative, I always include it in estimating.

But, for my Pre-K students I like to start out with large objects and as the year goes on we move to smaller and smaller objects. They are really good at estimating by the end of the year.PreKMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312736840103169823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930675723044006431.post-70341494716490755792011-07-22T07:20:32.909-04:002011-07-22T07:20:32.909-04:00I love to let the kids decide.
