Monthly Math Problem
Sparking Joy through ESTIMATION
Welcome, families! This month, we're exploring a fundamental skill that we use all the time without even realizing it: Estimation. Estimation is about making an educated guess based on what you already know. This month, we encourage you to have "estimation conversations" at home. Notice something in your environment that can be estimated (e.g., the number of apples in a bag, the size of a tree). Ask questions such as "What makes you think that?", "How did you come up with that guess?" “Do we think that is a reasonable estimate?” to develop reasoning skills and number sense.
