Put tong and compare bears in the water-use a minute sandtimer..estimate how many you can pick up in a minute. They loved these activities.

Guest Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 You need to remember that no-one can meaningfully estimate a greater number than they can actually count, so for some children that's going to be a rather small number. You don't have to estimate number. You can do it with shape and space eg Will this jiuce fit in that cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcat Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Get children to draw around their hand and then estimate how many cubes will cover their hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
