Curated OER
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.

Jack and the Beanstalk Estimation
Young scholars use estimation and pencil-paper calculations to help Jack and his mother solve a variety of life problems. They solve problems using various math operations, i.e., addition, subtraction, and measurement.
Curated OER
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.
Curated OER
Measuring Spider Web Angles
In this mathematics activity, students identify that the spiders each used a different angle to create their webs. Then they find out each spider's angle by estimating and measuring.
Curated OER
Pumpkin Problems
Students participate in a lesson that has the intention of working on estimation skills. They use pumpkins to estimate the number of seeds are inside. They collect data for each pumpkin and compare it to the estimation. Students question...
Curated OER
Investigation - Peg Race
Students explore time by comparing the duration of an egg timer with how many pegs they can put in a pegboard. They experience one on one correspondence, as they place a peg in the whole. Students discover estimation of time and number...
Curated OER
One Hundred Things
Learners practice estimating by handling items in groups of ten. They visualize how much space 100 items, such as pennies, peas, or beans, will take up after holding 10 of them. Students measure the difference in volume between 10 and...
Curated OER
Estimating Units of Length
Would you measure the height of a living room in centimeters? Scholars examine which units would be most efficient for this project: centimeters or meters. There is only one question here with a detailed explanation below. This would be...

About Accuracy and Approximation
How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...
Curated OER
Estimating and Measuring Worksheet
In this estimating and measuring instructional activity, students answer 8 questions in which they use estimation and then basic addition/subtraction to determine fabric measurements. The first section is strictly estimation and the...
Curated OER
Weight Estimation Chart
In this math worksheet, students estimate the weight of different objects, weigh them, and write down the differences between the two measurements.
Curated OER
Rallytable Angle Measuring
In this geometry worksheet, students measure various angles. First, they write what type of angle each one is, whether right, acute, or obtuse. Then students estimate the measurement and then write the actual measurement for each angle.
Math Mammoth
Measuring Length: Metric
In this mathematics worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines for each measurement. Then they measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students also use a ruler, a measuring tape, and measure small items and longer items.
Curated OER
Pumpkin Time
In these two lessons, science learners participate in various activities involving pumpkins. They investigate and research the life cycle of a pumpkin. They observe pumpkin growth and decomposition. Finally, they estimate and measure...
Curated OER
Whale Scale
Students estimate relative size and scale of humans, animals, and objects. They verify their estimations through research and measurement and then draw themselves in proportion to other creatures, both larger and smaller, in a selected...
Curated OER
Estimation
Young scholars estimate time and amounts when counting is not realistic or feasible. In this estimation lesson, students estimate time or amounts. This lesson includes two video clips on estimation and a worksheet for independent practice.
