Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

Students work collaboratively to determine how many crackers are in a large container. They then view a video to see how often people use estimation in their jobs, and another video to watch students work on figuring out appropriate...

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Students complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.

In this math worksheet, students learn to estimate sums and differences by completing step by step exercises. There is one word problem which is the example, and then students can choose from other estimation activities to do with a...

In this math activity, students choose 20 items from a shopping list that includes the price of each food. Students estimate the cost of the list and then figure out the actual cost.

In this estimating sums worksheet, students, working with a partner, practice problem solving five word problems involving estimation.

Students explore estimation and count by tens with Goldfish crackers.

Students estimate quantity, length, and area. Students practice making comparison estimations of different items and estimate whether or not the amount is greater or less than a certain amount. Students practice making estimations.

Students use Skittles candies as they explore estimation and percentages. In this math lesson plan, students sort, count, and chart Skittles candies to learn about estimation and study percentages.

In this estimation learning exercise, students estimate how many butterflies are in the picture and have 25 or 55 to choose from. Students estimate and eventually count 25 butterflies.

In this estimating practice worksheet, learners sharpen their math skills as they learn how to make likely estimates and try the 2 extra practice activities.

Learners explore linear measurement. They choose appropriate measuring tools, measure three classroom items, and record their results.  A class discussion ensues in which everyone decides the best way to present their data.

In this estimation worksheet, students use a small snack food to complete 9 estimation activities. They describe the item they are estimating, make a first estimate, use more information, make a second estimate, acquire more information...

In this math applications worksheet, students solve 6 varied problems that include estimation, money, basic operations, pictographs and geometry.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify that the spiders each used a different angle to create their webs. Then they find out each spider's angle by estimating and measuring.

Help mathematicians estimate how many seeds are in a given vegetable or fruit. They are divided into pairs and estimate the amount of seeds in a whole fruit without seeing the inside. They then cut the fruit or vegetable in half and...

Students practice estimating and counting and using a ruler to measure distance.

In this customary length learning exercise, students solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

In this language arts worksheet, students read 5 words in a word bank. The words seem to be related to estimation and rounding in math. Students locate the words in a word search puzzle. The meaning of the title is unclear.

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate numbers of items shown in pictures, then circle given groups of items, count and write totals. 

Students explore how to estimate quotients and check their division with multiplication. They practice rounding the divisor and the dividend. Students compare the estimate to the exact answer and determine if it is reasonable.

Third graders model multiplication problems using Unifix cubes. They compute and solve problems involving addition and subtraction of 3- and 4- digit numbers and basic facts of multiplication and division. They practice mental math...

They apply various strategies in their estimations. They analyze the differences between guessing and estimating. They estimate the number of beans and jellybeans in egg cartons and jars respectively.
