Estimation

Today students in Room 7 engaged in some terrific group work. As a part of our estimation unit, groups were given the task of estimating how many chairs are in R.F. Morrison School. This had to be done without leaving our classroom. Students were sharing fabulous ideas regarding strategies to base their estimations on. Communication, respect, and sharing were all a big part of this morning's lesson and activity. Our groups estimations were 327, 352, 290, 300, and 315. The highest estimate and lowest estimate were only 62 chairs apart; great use of estimation strategies Room 7!!

 Our next step is to find out the exact answer to this problem. Stay posted for more!
