As you may know, third grade mathematicians have been practicing their estimation skills. This week Joshua filled the Estimation Jar with toy cars. Throughout the week children wrote their estimates on scrap paper and submitted them to the Star Box.
Together we went through the estimates and rounded each to the nearest ten. Irene helped us to place the numbers on the line plot.
This week we noticed that the mode was 30 and 40. The range was 70. The actual number of toy cars in the jar was 39, so our estimating skills are improving!
