Our Big Idea today was about Quantity! We used a lot of math skills today!  First we reviewed what estimation is. Then we came up with our own estimations and talked about estimation strategies. It was a challenge to articulate our strategies in a way that everyone could understand our thinking!

Next came the counting.  We worked as a group to count the items in our bin. Mrs. Hackett said, “I was impressed with the collaboration that I saw!”

Finally, we used a shared Google Slide to talk about our math and present our thinking to the rest of the class.
