Maths

LO: I can estimate different objects

Estimation is an educated guess. It is not a random guess! We need to use our previous maths knowledge to help us!

Estimating means we do not get the EXACT answer… but we get an answer that’s close to the actual Value! It is a rough answer!

If you have ever played the game ‘How many sweets in the jar? ’ Then you have estimated! On the next few slides, I am going to show some images…. You can view them for no longer than 10 SECONDS, then skip to the next slide which is a question mark to take your guess. It is not an EXACT amount, an ESTIMATE!
