Students discover the ability to estimate based on viewing photographs of objects.  In this number sense lesson, students view photographs of numerous objects in which they must train their eyes to create an educated guess of how many there are.  Students post the photographs on a wiki site in which students everywhere can give their estimates, later discovering who was closest.
