Estimating Categories

Thanks to all the adults that either posted a comment on the blog or shared with us at home!

We shared these strategies in class and came up with 9 categories of how people use estimation in real life:

1. Using money to save, spend, or stay under budget.
2. Figuring out the time it takes to do a task or get someplace.
3. Predicting how much gas is left in our vehicle.
4. Cooking without measuring cups/spoons.
5. The distance between two places.
6. Predicting how many people might attend a function or party.
7. Predicting how many items to get for a function or party.
8. Telling someone the cost of a product or house.
9. Understanding how much space you have.
