Students estimate geographic position based on speed and air travel.  In GPS lesson students use GPS to estimate the set and drift of currents. 

In this measurement worksheet, 3rd graders estimate how much each of 9 objects weighs in ounces and pounds. They circle the answer that gives the best estimate of the weight of objects which include a key, an elephant, a chair, and a...

In this measurement activity, students study the illustrated image and estimate how long the object is. Students circle the answer that gives the best estimate for the 9 problems.

In this length worksheet, students estimate how long each objects is in the 9 examples. Students then circle the answer that gives the best estimate.

Students participate in a metric Olympics. For this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

In this mathematics lesson, 3rd graders estimate how many pancake tortoises they think it will take to reach the height of a giraffe.  Students watch a video and take notes before they begin the estimation process
