In this activity, learners use number sense and mental math strategies to estimate the price of a sign.

In this activity, learners explore probability with dice.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

In this activity (located on page 9 of the PDF), learners are introduced to Aesop's fable, "The Crow and the Pitcher." In the story, a clever crow drops pebbles into a pitcher to cause the water level

In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

Learners estimate how many small triangles will fill a larger shape. Then they use a triangle stamp (or stencil made from a file folder) to fill the larger shape with triangles.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through six estimating and measuring centers. First, learners read the book, "Room for Ripley" by Stuart J.

In this coin math activity, learners sort and stack 100 (one hundred) pennies into piles of 5 pennies each, 10 pennies each, and 20 pennies each.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

In this math activity, learners guess a secret number between 1 and 100 in a three-player game.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.

In this online activity, learners will explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.
