The year 3.1 students were learning about estimation through hands on activities. One of our activities was to guess (estimate) how many bottle caps I placed in a container. The students estimated the number and then, we counted all the bottle caps to verify the actual number and match it to the students’ estimations.

During a similar activity, the students worked in groups. Each group took their desired amount of bottle caps from a box. Their task was to estimate the number of bottle caps and then, count them to check how many there really were.
