the books:

and the puzzle:

All of these are available on Amazon, and are super fun and educational!

Pinterest Thursday-A Lesson In Estimation

For our first science project of the year, I chose to focus on estimating.  We spent two weeks on this topic.
First, we watched an episode of Sid the Science kid about estimating.
Then, The Girlio had to estimate how many pennies we had in a jar.

These were great projects-very fun and easy to do.  The only change I made was to change 100 cm to 18 inches so that we could use a long ruler.
Finally, The Girlio got to play some estimation games I found on pbskids.org.

Fun stuff!  🙂
