It is about this big. An assessment provides three questions on the estimations of volume. Pupils determine the quantities needed and use dimensional analysis to arrive at estimations involving dollar bills, paint, and gasoline.

Five questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and discussion—make up an interactive that challenges scholars to mail a teddy bear using the smallest box possible without squishing it. A box with movable sides allows mathematicians...

Students estimate the area of states using the formulas for the areas of rectangles, squares, and triangles. In this geometric shapes lesson, students divide irregular shaped states into shapes. They use the formulas for areas of...

Students make a prediction. In this applied science lesson, students guess the number of items in a jar. Students create a bar graph to show the predictions and the actual amounts.

An excellent way to reinforce math vocabulary in your classroom! Seventy-eight posters focus on number and number sense, computation and estimation, measurement, geometry, probability and statistics, and patterns, functions, and algebra.

Second graders explore estimation and rounding concepts using goldfish crackers and a song! They solve problems by estimating and rounding numbers and pick numbers within reason to represent certain objects.

Students get an opportunity to practice estimation skills in a real life situation after a unit on estimation has been taught.

Learners use this hands-on math center to explore estimation and counting by tens with Goldfish.

Students use four different computer estimation applets with several classroom estimation activities.

In this daily math problem worksheet, learners complete three activities that help use estimation and solve problems with repeated addition. Students show their work using pictures, numbers, or words and may use cubes, number lines or...

In this estimation worksheet, students examine sets of items. They determine which set of items have closest to 13 in the first example, and which has closest to 10 in the second example.

In this elementary math worksheet, students find the answers to the 10 problems written in the multiple choice format in order to develop critical thinking skills.

Pupils solve problems using estimation and exact calculations. In this algebra lesson, students use gum balls and thread to create hands on manipulatives to solve problems. They calculate the average of their total data.
