Algebraic Thinking
This is a quantity of jelly beans. Quantity describes the amount, or number, of something.
How many jelly beans, do you suppose, are in this jar?
What would be too high of an estimate?
How about too low of an estimate?
What is our reasoning for determining these numbers?
Will we ever know exactly how many jelly beans are in this particular jar? What are some reasons that you think in this way?
Estimating Practice
We will use our recording sheet (see link below), along with many other skills that we already have, to learn how to make an accurate estimate, and not simply guess.
