But for the last series (I made one with various amounts of money, no more than $3.00, this to practice decimals) and we used the same number line, adding as we went. No too high or too low, but a just right and the actual amount each day. Great practice ordering decimals. I also did one with grams of sugar in various sizes of cokes and then with pieces of candy that had fractional amounts (like a skittle 3/4 g and a starburst 2 1/2 g). Also good for fractions and mixed numbers on a number line. <br />We've also got a little production studio going, with the 4th graders submitting estimation180 proposals to be made to use with the third graders. They create the scenarios and use my ipad to photo or video and then we download it to the district shared drive. We've had some that were pretty creative. I'll be blogging about this soon.<br />Joe Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304083254248927187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256375873271579383.post-46799114143840313882014-02-27T07:35:10.151-08:002014-02-27T07:35:10.151-08:00I think this is a great idea to connect the estima...I think this is a great idea to connect the estimation to something that makes sense. I wonder if you could have extended to the graph of a compound inequality b/c obviously there are heights that wouldn't be realistic and you could have had them estimate on that end as well...and then connect it back to the graph and what would it have to look like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496751936456876825noreply@blogger.com
