Estimation Jar {Freebie}

Happy Wednesday!

  My district adopted the new Common Core Standards this past fall.  Now we are beginning training on rigor & relevance in the classroom.  Check it out here.  Basically, you are asking those higher order thinking questions and covering all of the complex ways in which we think- going deeper within our teaching and the student's learning.  One example activity is that of esitmation, with the question "how many?"  I made two jars in my classroom.  One will be the jar filled with some kind of item that the students will guess, the other jar will be for their answers.  It is a {Freebie} at my Teacher Pay Teachers store.

Have a great rest of the week,
