Estimation Investigation
Learners view an interactive video to explore the concepts of estimation. They work cooperatively to measure, make comparisons, make predictions, and verify results.
Curated OER
Estimation and Approximation
In this estimation and approximation instructional activity, students estimate multiplication and division problems containing decimals. They measure given objects, determine the possible error, the lower bound and the upper bound....
Curated OER
Estimation Zone
Students explore estimation. They estimate distance, weight, temperature and elapsed time. Students record their estimates and justify their estimations wtih a written response. After estimating, students take the actual measurements of...
Curated OER
The Estimation Station
Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Measurement and Estimation
Third graders create a table in order to record estimations and measurements of objects. In this estimation and measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders estimate and measure object's lengths, area, weight, and capacity.
Curated OER
Estimation
Students complete computer activities about estimating if items are more or less than a given amount. In this estimation lesson plan, students also estimate measurements around the classroom.
Curated OER
Measurement and Precision
In this math learning exercise, students make an estimation of the measurement of an object and find the actual measurement. Students chart their estimation and their measurement.
Curated OER
Approximating Measures
Fourth graders complete a worksheet about approximate measurements. In this instructional activity on approximation, 4th graders compare the wingspan of a given bird to the wingspan of other birds and classroom objects.
Curated OER
Units and Estimation Worksheet
In this math worksheet, students practice choosing the appropriate measurement for different types of objects that are commonly found in a classroom.
